Hello everybody,
CUPS was a bust so I emerged lprng. No dice!
F'rinstance, if I try to print from firefox a window
opens saying "Progress: Preparing..." then after about
15s it disappears. Then silence, save for the weeping
and wailing from yours truly.
A look at File->Print->Printer Properties->Print
Command reveals:
lpr $ {MOZ_PRINTER_NAME: +'-P'} $ {MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
FWIW.
If an attempt to print from nedit a dialogue box opens
with the message that lpr -J "file" is the command
used
After about 10s a box opens saying "...Cannot open
connection to localhost - No such file or
directory..."
sarawak heathen # cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of
hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It
is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers
are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used
instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the
names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...

Can't find anything else to show the group. Where does
lprng put its logs if it logs? There's nothing in
/var/logs, dmesg or /var/spool/lpd/lp.
Using a Deskjet 612C. Yes, the appropriate modules are
loaded and the printer is found at bootup.

Try
127.0.0.1 sarawak localhost
(i.e. list the hostname of the machine first)

Nope.
googling led me to emerge apsfilter -- another dud :^(

but /usr/share/apsfilter/drivers/hpijs/DJ6XXP exists!
More weirdness: there's _no_ /dev/lp0! And using
/dev/lp1(which does exist) or /dev/lp0 in the
apsfilter setup leads to "no such file" error.
Maybe mknod? Anybody know the full command?
BTW, apsfilter lists my spooldir as /var/spool/cups.
But I did emerge -C cups(did that delete /dev/lp0?) in
order to emerge lprng.

I can't remember, have you tried to get your printer working with the
hpijs driver?
Emerge -uDpv hpijs

Yow! that's 32 megs. Had to be satisfied with simple
emerge hpijs.
Then it worked! Well, not quite. The test page printed
OK but when I ran lpc reread as per the instructions
at the close of the apsfilter setup, got this:
sarawak heathen # lpc reread
Printer 'lp@localhost' - cannot open connection - No
such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
And an attempt at lpr -J test.txt resulted in
"...Sending job 'heathen@sarawak+929' to lp@localhost
Cannot open location to localhost no such file or
directory..."
And what's going on here:
heathen@sarawak ~ $ cat /etc/lprng/printcap
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database.
# $Header:
/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-print/lprng/files/printcap,v

#
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc.
for your
# own filters. See the printcap(5) manpage for more
details.
lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry
:lp=/dev/lp1
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:af=/var/log/lp-acct
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
:pl#66
:pw#80

:sh
# rlp|Remote printer entry
# :lp=
# :rm=remotehost
# :rp=remoteprinter
# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote
# :mx#0
# :sh
Why does it think my printer is at /dev/lp1? It's at
/dev/lp0 and that's where I pointed apsfilter-setup.

I am afraid I have never used apsfilter to know its intricacies, although it
is claimed that it 'works straight out of the box'. When I run this
command on my non-apsfilter CUPS set up this is what I get:
====================================================
# lpc reread
reread is not implemented by the CUPS version of lpc
====================================================
Someone else who is more versed on apsfilter will hopefully be able to help
- you may want to start a new thread with apsfilter included in the title?
PS. It is worth checking how many printer destinations are there and that
you have set up the correct default printer by:
=====================================================
# lpstat -a
Compaq-HP accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
DeskJet-930C accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
PS121 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
# lpstat -d
system default destination: PS121
=====================================================
The command lpoptions -d PS121 would set printer PS121 as the default
printer.
