Title: Re: LPRng: Re: LPRng 3.7.4-printer problems on linux



Joel;

Sorry for that omission.  /etc/printcap reads;
: sd =/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
: mx #0:\
: sh :\
: lp =/dev/usb /lp0:\
:if =/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:

The configuration was done with the graphical 'printtool' client, which comes with every Red Hat - based system.
