Printing pronlem with Potato
Hi
I am trying to print to a Netware prionter using Potato and
apsfilter. I had this running fine using the Debain supplied kernel
but I have now compiled my own 2.2.10 kernel and I can't print
anymore.
lpc reports the following when I try and start the printer:-
lpc> start all
ascii:
printing enabled
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
lp:
printing enabled
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
raw:
printing enabled
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
remote:
printing enabled
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
lpc>
Printing anything also gives connection refused. My printcap looks
like this :-
ascii|lp1|ljet4-a4-ascii-mono|ljet4 ascii mono:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-a4-ascii-mono:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-a4-ascii-mono/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-a4-ascii-mono/acct:\
:if=/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4-a4-ascii-mono:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:

:if=/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4-a4-auto-mono:\

:sh:

:if=/var/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet4-a4-raw:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
remote|remotep|LJ4 remote on ethernet:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/nprint-script:
Finally lsmod reports the following:-
dasterdly:~# lsmod

3c509 5812 1

ncpfs 26000 0 (unused)

I can't see any boot errors in any log files or any other lpd errors
for that matter. This is driving me nut. What did I do wrong with my
kernel.

PS I can see all the Novell servers with slist.
