Re: lpr doesn't work under woody
Yep, I'm having the same problem. I'm running an EPSON Stylus Photo
700 under woody using printtool (which I thought had conflicted with
LPRng when I tried to install what 'Debian Unleashed', 2000, described
as "Debian's native printing model") ... If it is as simple as changing
/dev/lp1 t /dev/lp0 it is worth trying.
