Network Printing, no output or errors from "lpr 'filename'
Subject should be: Network Printing, no output or errors from "lpr 'filename' ".
DaemonForums, Running "lpr 'filename' ", I'm unable to print using the LPD printer daemon on a laptop (Dell Inspiron 11z, OpenBSD 5.4 Release w/patched source, amd64) to a standalone Canon Imageclass D1150. There is no error afterwards running the above command, nor is there any output from "tail -f /var/log/lpd-errs". Running "lpc status" gives: "queueing is enabled printing is enabled no entried printer idle" Here is my printcap file: lp|canon:\ :sh=:\ :lp=515@192.168.xxx.xxx:\ :sd=/var/spool/output/canon:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :rp=canon: *I've set the printer's hostname to "canon" (when ping-ed by name replies with correct IP address) *The IP address above contains the true static address I've set on the printer, and the hosts.lpd file contains "canon". */var/spool/output/canon has rwx for all, owner=root, group=daemon */var/log/lpd-errs shows log info when I restart lpd, but nothing else even when I run "lpr filename". *rp=remote printer name (assuming host or device name, I've set both to "canon"). I basically followed "Absolute OpenBSD (M Lucas)" (page 306) format, but replaced his "rm=printservername:\" with my "lp=515@192.168.xxx.xxx:\". My understanding is his example points to a print server with printer attached, as opposed to a standalone printer. Other notes: I verified with the Canon D1150 manual that it does support LPD, also logged into http interface and verified that LPD is turned on and using port 515. Ran "nc -z 192.168.xxx.xxx 515" gives "Connection to 192.168.xxx.xxx 515 port (tcp/printer] succeeded!" I realize I haven't applied any filtering, but am I wrong to believe there would be some response or garbled print output if "lpr 'filename' " is run? A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. --spacebar_permissions Last edited by spacebar_permissions; 12th March 2014 at 04:52 AM. Reason: Pls change subject. |
