Can't print from apps
Please reply to me as well as the list since I can't subscibe to high volume
lists without my internet connection choking :)
My lprng with a Kyocera Mita FS-1010 printer seems to work really well - the
KDE printer preferences dialogue sends a test page fine, as do other tools to
test the printer. I have a PPD installed for my printer, have a correct
/etc/printcap (I hope, please see below), have foomatic-rip.pl installed,
foomatic-gswrapper, and my printer is on /dev/lp0.
I can never print from an application like postscript viewers when viewing a
ps document, nor can I do:
lpr -Pqueue1 file.ps
Nothing ever happens for some reason. But it always works fine when sending
a test page! I wonder why? Any ideas?
Many Thanks ;)
