Hi all.
I have an USB printer at /dev/ulpt0, dmesg say:
ulpt0: Lexmark 730 Series, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2, iclass 7/1
ulpt0: using bi-directional mode
CUPS is not installed and i am trying make printer work with the native
BSD printing system. This is what have my /etc/printcap file:
lp|local printer:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/ulpt0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
And this is 'ls -l /var/spool/lpd'
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 37 Mar 14 19:55 lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 25 Mar 14 19:55 status
I don't get printer work. Command 'lp file.txt' don't return any output,
'cat file.txt > /dev/ulpt0' don't return any output. Command
'cat /var/spool/lpd/status' output is:
lp is ready and printing
and this can indicate the configuration is well done. lpd is run...
I am thinking about if the cause of this problem can be the native BSD
printing system can't manage USB printers, so my concrete question to
the list is: Can be used the BSD lpd with USB printers?.
Thanks you very much, in advance.
Regards.
Jose.
