Hi
I did something stuppid and messed up my lpd-setup. I looked around in KDE's
"Printer Manager" in administrator-mode, and even though I didn't apply any
changes it activated cupsd (should it do that?) which in turn overwrote
my /etc/printcap. Now I can't get back to the old and working setup.
I've removed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh, so /etc/printcap doesn't get
overwritten any more.
Though I don't have a copy of my /etc/printcap I found older copy (which might
be identical) which have worked in the past:
laserjet|lp|ps|PS|S|hp|HP LaserJet 1200:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:
The psif-filter is installed and at that location.
lpd is up and running.
Now, if I try to print anything I get this errormessage in console/syslog:
eb 13 09:50:46 desktop lprps[842]: laserjet: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Operation not
supported by device
Feb 13 09:50:46 desktop lpd[836]: laserjet: job could not be printed
(cfA010desktop.home)
I've tried to fiddle around with lptcontrol and gets tiocflush-errors for all
switches but -s.
I have NO idea for where to look next. Google doesn't turn up anything useful
on tiocflush and I have no idea what it means.
