Hi, try this out, it should work. Become superuser and give the following command: mkdir /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300 actually 'ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300' should be replaced with whatever entry it has got in /etc/printcap file. For example, if the followinf entry is there in /etc/printcap, ps|raw:\ :lp=:rm=100.0.0.10:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw :mx#0:\ :of=/usr/spool/lp1/hpjlps: :lf=/usr/spool/lp1/ps-log: then issue 'mkdir /var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw' Regards, Senthil vel On Mon, 1 Mar 1999, misc.word.corp wrote:
After upgrading to 2.2.1, I discovered that I can't get my HP-compatible printer (on /dev/lp1) to work.
Here's the error message when I call lpr on any printing job:
"cannot create /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300/.seq"
Any idea as to what might be behind this? I don't think it's permission-related, but I may be wrong.
