Printing problem with CUPS LPD
Hey, I have a HP LaserJet 1010 and I was trying to get it working with FreeBSD, so I installed CUPS and configured it to recoginize the printer and it does, I can successfully print a testpage using the webinterface. So I was trying to print a file from commandline with lpr, but there is something weird. This is the ouput of lpstat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lpstat -p -v -d printer HP1010 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 CUPS v1.1.23 is ready to print. device for HP1010: usb:/dev/ulpt0 system default destination: HP1010 but when I try printing a file using the command: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lpr -PHP1010 /etc/motd this shows up at my dmesg : Nov 12 12:05:16 Print lpd[1905]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory LPD is trying to print to /dev/lp instead of /dev/ulpt0, but I don't know how to fix it. I tried symlinking /dev/lp to /dev/ulpt0 but that wouldn't do the trick. I hope someone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Does CUPS install its own version of `lpr'? I suspect it does. See if you have a /usr/local/bin/lpr in addition to /usr/bin/lpr. If you do, then see if that version of lpr works. What you probably need to do is remove /usr/bin/lpr, or make it into a symlink to /usr/local/bin/lpr. You would also want to add to /etc/make.conf a line something like: NO_LPR=yes -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
