Hi,
I tried several time, but failed to get the remote printer work. I am
wondering if some experts there could give me some advice.
I am using RH6.2 with kernel 2.2.19 ( upgraded from 2.2.14-5.0). I used
control-panel to configure the printer.
the printcap is:( where the man_hp8k is also our remote printer name)
//////////////////////////////////////////
[root@treig /etc]# cat /etc/printcap
#
# This printcap is being created with printtool v.3.41
# Any changes made here manually will be lost if printtool
# is run later on.
# The presence of this header means that no printcap
# existed when printtool was run.
#
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE ljet3d 300x300 a4 {} LaserJet3d Default {}

I tried followings:
//////////////////////////////
[root@treig /etc]# lpr -Pman_hp8k printcap
[root@treig /etc]# lpq -Pman_hp8k
Warning: no daemon present

[root@treig /etc]# ls /dev/lp*

[root@treig /etc]# lptest > /dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: No such device
[root@treig /etc]# cat /proc/devices

Block devices:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
why is there no daemon present? I can see /dev/lp0, but why "lptest >
/dev/lp0" says no such device.
Thanks
