Printer spooler doesn't seem to work
I can print by sending output directly to my printer, but the lpr command can't do it, and I can't print from any programs. I'm using LPRng, and here's some of what I've tried so far (comments and questions are prefaced with '//').
$echo hello world > /tmp/hi $lpr -V /tmp/hi LPRng-3.8.26, Kerberos5, Copyright 1988-2003 Patrick Powell, <*****@lprng.com> Printer lp@myComputer: // no useful output even though I used the verbose flag $lpq Printer: lp@myComputer (printing disabled) Queue: no printable jobs in queue // so the job was never even sent to the queue? $checkpc // no output $lpc status Printer Printing Spooling Jobs Server Subserver Redirect Status/(Debug) lp@myComputer disabled enabled 0 none none // does the "none" under Server and Subserver have any significance? $lpc lpd lpd server pid 1997 on myComputer // lpd is running $lpc active Printer: lp@myComputer lp@myComputer: not implemented yet // not implemented? How do I implement it then? // this command is supposed to connect to the server for the printer Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Well, I didn't figure out what was wrong, but I fixed it nevertheless. I uninstalled LPRng and then reinstalled it. Printing works fine now.
