Hi, the rm entry from what I can tell is not needed because I have the lp flag set. Im pretty sure the file is getting to lpd but Im not sure about debugging from there. I am printing from a windows XP pro machine.
heres the error I got when I put in the rm entry: Warning - lp1: 'conflicting printcap entries :lp=/dev/lp0:rm=localhost' Sean On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 12:46 PM, Bob Elzer <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't see an rm=machine-name:rp=print-name: entry in your printcap. > > This makes me think, that the printer is not shared on the host. > > Also where are you printing from ?
