[buug] Printing to Unix printer

[Bill Schoolcraft]

At Fri, 30 Jun 2000 it looks like Tom DeSot composed:


TD-->I've tried several printcap files and it never prints anything out.  When I
TD-->look at my print debug files it tells me it can't resolve the host.  Funny
TD-->thing though, I used another print test utility and it spit out what I had
TD-->just tried to print from lpr.
TD-->
TD-->Am I missing something in my printcap file to force the page feed?  Has
TD-->anyone had this experience and found that it just won't work?
TD-->
TD-->I'd really appreciate any help that could be given.


Can we see the printcap files with some comments on what happened
with each ? 

Are you pointing to the printer by name or IP address ? Same network
? Can you "ping" the printer by name ? or by number ?
