Subject: [9fans] printer daemon
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 19:29:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42e101e2d0eea8e56541e7657f69303b@voidness.de> (raw)
Has anyone got a parallel port printer working with spooler and
accessible via lpdaemon? Could you give me a hint for an entry in the
devices file?
I have a Laserjet attached to the CPU servers parallel port. I only
had got it printing without spooler and daemon two years ago with that
entry in /sys/lib/lp/devices:
laserjet - - /dev/lpt1data - gs!ljet4+nohead generic nospool - - - -
I need to print from a NetBSD machine, now.
I read through /sys/lib/lp/* for hours but I'm far from understanding
what spooler, daemon, kill and stat scripts I should use to get the
printer accessible by BSD's lpr or if it's possible at all. I also
hadn't success by stupidly trying different settings. ;-) (The tcp515
listener is running).

P.S.:
Printing from a Plan 9 Terminal never was a problem (importing the
devices of the CPU server). The workaround for printing from NetBSD
is at the moment: A listener just calling /bin/lp on the CPU server
and catting the document files into 'netpipes' on the Unix machine.
