Printer problems (Slink, apsfilter, HPDJ 694c)
I've got Slink and I'm trying to make aps filter and lpr work as a
team, but it's giving me some problems (that Slackware didn't give me,
oddly enough).
I installed apsfilter and lpr from dselect. I read the stuff for
apsfilter and found out it didn't have teh djc670 driver i used under
slackware, but that the djc550 works just as well for AIAP... in theory.
Everything installs well enough, but when I print something using
lpr, ie:
$ lpr received
I get:
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
a ps aux reveals:
root 3516 0.0 0.3 788 332 ? S 17:13 0:00 lpd
root 3518 0.0 0.3 812 376 ? S 17:13 0:00 lpd
two of them, as you can see. so
kill -9 3516 and 3518
and
lpd
gives yet again:
root 3604 0.0 0.3 788 332 ? S 17:26 0:00 lpd
root 3606 0.5 0.3 812 376 ? S 17:26 0:00 lpd
I'm assuming this is part of the problem, but not the entirety.
I've tried using LPRng and magicfilter with similar results. I'm
telling it to use /dev/lp1 right now (but have used /dev/lp0 in the past
with similar results).
Help?
