Subject: [9fans] lp doesn't work after upgrade from downloaded cd image
Date: Tue,  8 Oct 2002 11:52:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000e01c26efc$03ca51c0$b9b0590c@default> (raw)

After upgrade from a recent cd image lp fails; printing is normal on win95
My system is a standalone pc.

after
cat foo| lp
the print light blinks , as if to start printing ,but quits after about a
second and goes back to standby.
I can print this way:
cat foo| lp -dstdout > /dev/lpt1data

but the result is the intended file along with a spurious page.

Nothing was written to log , prob, tmp, or queue in /sys/lib/lp

lp -d'?' lists the printer.

Guidance valued-

-Tom
