Subject: [9fans] How to set up printing

I have a networked PostScript printer that speaks LPR.  I have no idea
how to make it work in Plan 9.

I have edited /sys/lib/lp/devices and added:

    # Lexmark X203N
    lexmarkx203n - - x203n - post+600dpi generic lpdspool lpd - -

Of course I can ping x203n.

When I do

    troff -ms /sys/doc/backup.ms | lp -D -dlexmarkx203n

this happens:

    grep '^lexmarkx203n[ ]' /sys/lib/lp/devices
    date
    test -e /sys/lib/lp/log/lexmarkx203n
    bind -b /sys/lib/lp/spooler /bin
    lpdspool
    bind -b /sys/lib/lp/process /bin
    /386/bin/aux/lpdsend -dx203n -tf -Hcwfs64x -Param -
    generic
    cat
    file /tmp/lp107693
    /sys/lib/lp/process/tr2post
    echo ''
    awk -F, '{ n=3Dsplit($0, a, ","); for (i=3D1;i<=3Dn;i++) print a[i]; }'
    /sys/lib/lp/process/hpost
    eval /386/bin/aux/tr2post '' '' -c1 '' '' -pp '' '-P''%%Patch from lp
    %%EndPatch from lp
    '''
    date
    /386/bin/aux/tr2post -c1 -pp '-P%%Patch from lp
    %%EndPatch from lp
    '
    awk '{ if(match("cwfs64x", $1)) {print $2; exit}}' /lib/face/.machineli=
st
    awk '/^cwfs64x\/aram /{print $2}' /lib/face/48x48x8/.dict
    awk '/^cwfs64x\/aram /{print $2}' /lib/face/48x48x4/.dict
    awk '/^cwfs64x\/aram /{print $2}' /lib/face/48x48x2/.dict
    awk '/^cwfs64x\/aram /{print $2}' /lib/face/48x48x1/.dict
    test -f /lib/face/48x48x1/u/unknown.1
    test -r /lib/face/48x48x2/u/unknown.1
    cat
    cat
    cat
    exit ''
    exit
    wait
    rm -f /tmp/lp107693
    exit
    rm -f /tmp/lp107693
    exit
    exit 'lpdspool 107692: |lpdsend 107695: 1'
    exit ''

There is no effect on the printer.

I can use this printer on Linux, BSD and OS X through LPR + generic
postscript driver (no special Lexmark drivers).

What to do?

Thanks,
