I have switched back to regular lpr myself. I tried lprng briefly, but
the errors I was getting didn't make any sense to me at all, so I just
switched back to regular lpr. I still haven't fixed my lpr problem, but
I think I am getting closer.
Basically, what is happening is that when I print a file, the printer
starts up but all that comes out is a blank page. I know there is still
a line feed problem (as there is initially with many printers), but the
file I am printing has text on the first line that should show fine. I
have worked through the printing HowTo, but I haven't managed to figure
this one out.
When I print a file, it is getting sent to the spool directory just
fine, but somewhere between there and the printer, all the data is being
lost......
