Done that, so my printcap file now reads:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are
doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very
strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
#
This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL cdj550 300x300 a4 {} DeskJet550 3 {}
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It did originally read /dev/lp0 which I changed to /dev/lp1 as shown
above. This does now produce a printout when giving the command "lpr
hello.c", but it is incorrectly formatted. Also it reports
"lpr: connect: no such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon"
We're getting there!
