Re: Magicfilter error "lpd cannot execv <filter>"
Wayne,
Thanks for the reply. In my /etc/magicfilter/djet550c-filter, the rights
are as follows:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4857 Jul 8 16:09 dj550c-filter*
When I run it via the commandline, I do not get any error, if simply sits
there as if it is waiting for information. I am still getting the same
problems if I try to lpr to that printer:
Sep 14 11:11:47 host lpd[25613]: cannot execv /etc/magicfilter/djet550c-filter
