Hello,
Can anyone please give me a hint on how to
procede to get my PC/printer to
operate?
operate?
I have installed Red Hat 5.2 into my Compaq
Presario 5670 PC. During the
installation I configured my printer as '/dev/lp1'.
installation I configured my printer as '/dev/lp1'.
After installation I rebooted I tried to
print:
[root@localhost /root]# cat file.ext > /dev/lp1
which only resulted in the following screen
output:
bash:
/dev/lp1: Device not configured
I also tried:
[root@localhost /root]# lpr file.ext
which resulted in the following screen
output:
lpr:
connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

lpc provides the following
information:

lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
9 entries in spool area
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)

printcap contains the following:
[root@localhost /root]#cat
/etc/printcap

# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.

# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

/var/spool/lpd/lp directory seems
ok.
During the session the following message now and
then pops up on my
screen:

My own assumption is that I may have a PC
printer interface incompatibili-
ty problem to deal with.

Does anyone have any hints on how to
proceed?
