[gentoo-user] still can't print

[maxim wexler <blissfix@yahoo.com>]

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..."

# /etc/hosts:  This file describes a number of
hostname-to-address

is mostly
#              used at boot time, when no name servers
are running.
#              On small systems, this file can be used
instead of a

names, addresses

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.
