Unless you've got PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS set, the rc.d scripts with the package install into /usr/pkgsrc/share/examples/rc.d. Look for the rc.d script for cups (and other packages) there. (since I never remember to set PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS, I end up installing them manually.) - I used the web admin - interface to add my printer, which shows up in /etc/printcap as - - lp|HP DeskJet 6940 series:rm=screamer.whooppee.com:rp=lp: - - The pritner admin page shows - - Description: HP DeskJet 6940 series - Location: - Driver: HP DeskJet 6940 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended) - (color, 2-sided printing) - Connection: socket://192.168.2.253 - Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in - sides=one-sided [...] - There is no traffic to the printer socket (port 9100), and nothing - prints. What happens when you try to send something directly to port 9100? Have verified that the printer doesn't support either IPP or LPD directly? If it supports either of those, I would recommend using those protocols over the TCP stream at port 9100. -- Eric Schnoebelen e...@cirr.com http://www.cirr.com Worry is like a rocking chair: It gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.
