Message-ID:
SuSE 7 uses modules to load drivers. do a "cat /proc/modules" to see if lp is listed among the installed modules. OK, it was not installed.
If not then su to root and do "modprobe lp". Did it. Now there are several new lines, including printcap, and this crucial one:
lp 5476 0 (unused) is it correct?
If your printer is on, and online, you should hear it cycle when the lp module loads. No noise at all...
Redo the "cat /proc/modules" and you will see lp and some associated modules listed. OK. But when I try to print, I now obtain this message:
lpr: fatal error: no printcap entry for printer lp
I also tried with
lpr filename -Pljet3
but the answer is always the same.
this is driving me crazy...
thanks!
