tek 440 and printcap

[harsh@bajor2.lanl.gov]

Hi,

I'm having difficulties setting up my /etc/printcap file to
print to a Tek Phaser 440. The printer is on the network
and I can print to it from any of the Win* OSs, but not
from Linux/Debian. My printcap entry is :




lp1|Phaser 440 hallway:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpperrs:\
        :df=/etc/filter.ps:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :rm=128.165.168.165:\
        :rp=text:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote_lp1:


Which is a copy of my entry for a HP5000, which works
fine. ( The only difference is the IP address in the rm field. )
I've tried rp = to ps, text, lp, lpr, and blank to no avail.

After a boot, lpc returns this for the status:


lpc> status
lp:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present
lp1:
        queuing is disabled
        printing is disabled
        no entries
        no daemon present
        :
        queuing is disabled
        printing is disabled
        no entries
        no daemon present
        :
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present
lpc> 

Do not know why there is multiple level for lp1. This probably is not helping 
printing to lp1.



lpc> restart all
lp:
        no daemon to abort
lp:
        daemon started
lp1:
        no daemon to abort
lp1:
        daemon started
        :
        no daemon to abort
        :
        daemon started
        :
        no daemon to abort
        :
        daemon started
lpc>start

lpc> status
lp:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present
lp1:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        waiting for queue to be enabled on 128.165.168.165
        :
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        waiting for queue to be enabled on 128.165.168.165
        :
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present
lpc> 
 




When I try to print something, I see this:


$ lpq -Plp1
bajor2: waiting for queue to be enabled on 128.165.168.165
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    harsh      10   t1.ps                                 641345 bytes

lp: bad queue name (check printcap entry)
$ 


So I guess I have two questions:

1) what is the correct printcap entry for a Tek Phaser 440?

2) Why do I have what appears to be multiple level of queuing on lp1,
  More importantly how do I get rid of them? I've tried lpc stop, lpc disable,
  commenting lp1 out of the printcap file and rebooting, manually restarting
  lp1 thru lpc.



Thanks for any suggestions,

Jim
