RE: printer not in printer-options



I have the same problem, plus another lprng issue.

Printer is a networked PS printer, so printcap contains rm=PRINTERNAME,
rp=PORT1.

1. Installed lpr (not lprng).

# lpr a.ps - works

kword - sees the printer, but nothing comes out.

2. Installed lprng

# lpr a.ps - error messages complaining about localhost.

Off to the lprng site: found http://www.astart.com/lprng/forcelocalhost.htm
Ugh.  Tried the fix:
# lpr -PPORT1@PRINTERNAME a.ps - works !  Has someone compiled Debian's
lprng with force_localhost ??

kword - doesn't see any printers.
