getting printing working
Ok, printing worked under RedHat, and I'm trying to configure it under
Debian. I used magicfilter, but I don't think it's a filter problem yet since
the daemon isn't responding.
I can print a lob with lpr, and lpq shows the job in the queue, but that
the printer isn't responding. lpd is running, and my /etc/printcap is
[msoulier@lupus /etc]$ cat printcap

So, why wouldn't the printer be responding? Works under windows so it's not
the hardware.
Thanks,
