Help with ethernet printer
I have a Xerox 4520mp printer. It has a nic card onboard. I have it
connected to my local network. It is a postscript printer. I am
trying to set it up under debian. I can't seem to get it to work.
I added the printer to the host file. I installed the lpr package (so I
am assuming that is working okay, not sure how to check).
I installed magic filter, because someone recommended it. I went
through
its' setup but I don't know if it's working or not, and I didn't
understand
some of the questions it asked, and I didn't see my printer listed or
just a standard post script printer.
I then went about trying to configure my printcap file manually, but
I'm a little confused about all the settings it needed.
Here's what I have in it:
lp|x4520mp|Xerox 4520mp:\
:sd=/var/spool/x4520mp:\
:rm=jchawk5:\
:rp=x4520mp_4:\
:sh=:
I get an error upon trying to print that says "lpr:connect:No such file
or directory"
I am printing under netscape with the command lpr -P x4520mp
where x4520mp is my printer name.
Please does anyone know how to make this work? Or can you tell
me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks: Joe
