lpr command brings up a GUI with the "OK" button greyed out
Running Debian lenny.
If I use the lpr command from a regular ssh client (ie. not using xterm), I get a printout from a IP printer without problems. But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up. The problem with the gui window is that the "OK" button is greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to print. Help? |
I guess it's good that there are now 21 views here - at least that means people are looking.
I am really baffled by this - even my best google-skills aren't able to come up with anyone else with a similar question. I guess I should say this: (1) yes, CUPS is installed (in fact, CUPS is how the printers are installed). Printing from cups works. (2) I have the same problem with the lpr command from both normal user accounts as well as root. Meaning, this doesn't seem to be a permissions issue... |
Just checking back in on this thread after 3 months.
Any ideas? |
post the output of:
Code:
which lpr Code:
alias lpr |
Check that /usr/bin/lpr-cups isn't a link but an executable, and use that command.
