Message-ID:
No need to go insane! Now you have to configure the printcap file... Run YaST and select the 'Configure Hardware" option, which leads to the option to configure the printer, or run YaST2 and chose the 'Configure the Printer" button.
Thanks -- did it. Always the same answer: installing with yast2, the
hello world statement is sent correctly, but the test page is not
printed. From command line, lpq gives:
Local printer 'lp' on pentiumiii.miarete: no spooling, no printing
and lpr sometimes (not always) returns this info:
illegal ack code '': Pipe rotta
"Pipe rotta" = "broken pipe"
not very nice indeed....
I also tried:
cat moglie.txt | lpr -Pascii
and this gave as output:
cat moglie.txt | lpr -Pascii
Dec 3 12:10:00 pentiumiii lpr ascii: Readlockfile: cannot open/create
lock file '/var/spool/lpd/ljet3-a4-ascii-mono-300/lock': Permesso
negato
"Permesso negato" = permission denied
I was logged as root. The permissions of the lock file are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 dic 3 11:42
/var/spool/lpd/ljet3-a4-ascii-mono-300/lock
Permissions of the other lock files:
/var/spool/lpd/ljet3-a4-auto-mono-300/lock
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 nov 9 09:59 lock
which seems wrong to me: I changed to
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root
but nothing changed -- still the message
Readlockfile: cannot open/create lock file
'/var/spool/lpd/ljet3-a4-auto-mono-300/lock': Permesso negato
/var/spool/lpd/ljet3-a4-raw/lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 dic 3 11:42 lock
To be sure, I also installed through yast. The problem is not, I think,
in the printcap configuration: did it also manually using SETUP, but no
change happened. There must be something wrong in the lock files
permissions ore something like that -- why this "no spooling" message?
I am rather confused, sorry to be such a nuisance to the list. But I
promise that, if all of this ends well, I will post a detailed message
with the whole story -- may be helpful to other people.
Best regards from Italy!
