HP Post Script Printer Working
daemonforums,
Obtained an HP LaserJet 4100n and now up lpr ‘filename’ is functioning.
After setting up /etc/printcap:
lp|HP:\
:sh:\
:rm=192.168.17.98:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/HP
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:rp=HP:
$ lpq
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
$ lpc status
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
printer is idle
$ lpr ‘filename’
lpr cannot open /var/spool/output/HP permission denied
Even though this directory had owner=root and group=daemon, as per “Absolute OpenBSD”, page 306.
In my notes from two years ago (!!) I jotted down that I needed to add group write permission, which I then did:
$ chmod g+w HP
Then printing was successful using lpr 'filename'.
Next step is to setup filtering.
