I have this in /sys/lib/lp/log/lexmarkx203n.s

connecting to tcp!-!printer
 trying from port 721...failed
 trying from port 722...failed
 trying from port 723...failed
 trying from port 724...failed
 trying from port 725...failed
 trying from port 726...failed
 trying from port 727...failed
 trying from port 728...failed
 trying from port 729...failed
 trying from port 730...failed
 trying from port 731...failed
Cannot open a valid port!
-  All source ports [721-731] may be busy.
-  Is recipient ready and online?
-  If all else fails, cycle the power!

That doesn't look right, so I changed /sys/lib/lp/devices to read

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

connecting to tcp!x203n!printer
 trying from port 721...connected
: 72.11% sent
: 100.00% sent
11360 bytes sent, status: waiting for end of job
11360 bytes sent, status: end of job

Now it did work!

However it prints a "helpful" first page with my name (this presumably
should contain details about the print job).  Can I disable this
feature?

Also, I tried to print a Plan 9 paper and the font is all wrong.  I
guess the printer doesn't have the correct fonts.  What to do in this
case?

Thanks,
