I have a Hewlett Packard 690C printer and RedHat Linux 5.1. If I try to
print a file with the
lpr hello.c
command, for example, then nothing happens. If I examine the queue with
lpq, then it reports either "no daemon present" or "waiting for lp to
become ready (offline ?)". In the RHS Linux Print System Manager I have
lp as "local printer on /dev/lp0". I have tried turning the printer
off, then on again. If I move to the /etc directory and type "lptest >
/dev/lp0" then nothing happens.
What have I done wrong?
