Hello everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
CUPS was a bust so I emerged lprng. No dice! |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
F'rinstance, if I try to print from firefox a window |
| 6 |
opens saying "Progress: Preparing..." then after about |
| 7 |
15s it disappears. Then silence, save for the weeping |
| 8 |
and wailing from yours truly. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
A look at File->Print->Printer Properties->Print |
| 11 |
Command reveals: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
lpr $ {MOZ_PRINTER_NAME: +'-P'} $ {MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
FWIW. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If an attempt to print from nedit a dialogue box opens |
| 18 |
with the message that lpr -J "file" is the command |
| 19 |
used |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
After about 10s a box opens saying "...Cannot open |
| 22 |
connection to localhost - No such file or |
| 23 |
directory..." |
| 24 |

Can't find anything else to show the group. Where does |
| 52 |
lprng put its logs if it logs? There's nothing in |
| 53 |
/var/logs, dmesg or /var/spool/lpd/lp. |

Using a Deskjet 612C. Yes, the appropriate modules are |
| 56 |
loaded and the printer is found at bootup. |
