Do you have the printer set up in CUPS? (Common Unix Printing System.) See "man cups". Applications shouldn't normally be writing to explicit device IDs. On 3/10/19, ToddAndMargo via perl6-users <perl6-users@perl.org> wrote:
Hi Parrot, I mean writing directly to /dev/lp0. This is my example that does not work as I have a kernel problem with lp0 at the moment: p6 '"/dev/lp0".IO.spurt( "abc"~chr(12) );' But it would also be nice to know how to write to cups as well for my notes. -T
