Hi group, |

|
| 3 |
After struggling unsuccessfully with CUPS I installed |
| 4 |
lprng and apsfilter. I got as far as printing the test |
| 5 |
page in apsfilter-setup but any attempt to print |
| 6 |
fails. |

Here's a recent xterm session: |

heathen@sarawak ~ $ lpq |
| 11 |

| 14 |

| 15 |

What the heck is this "lp@localhost"? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Anybody see a problem here: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
heathen@sarawak ~ $ cat /etc/hosts |
| 45 |
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of |

| 50 |

| 51 |

| 52 |

I'm using an HP612C attached to |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
heathen@sarawak ~ $ ls -l /dev/lp0 |
| 74 |
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Feb 18 02:00 /dev/lp0 |

Which is odd because according to |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
heathen@sarawak ~ $ cat /etc/lprng/printcap |
| 79 |

the printer is attached to /dev/lp1. I've edited that |
| 109 |
line to /dev/lp0 but it made no difference. |
