Hi
I have a problem printing to a network printer here at school.
The spool that the school provides is no good so I am trying to create
my own on my computer and talk directly to the printer (then I allso
have better control over my printing, I like that more).
The printer is a HP Color LaserJet 4700 and I have downloaded the hplip
package to use with it and used CUPS to set it up through its web
environment and that works fine. I can print from the web page of CUPS
a test page (it prints in 10 copies though) but I cant use any command
tools like lp or lpstat to contact the printer, lpstat -t only finds
printer spools the school has defined, and not my owne.
Have you installed cups-bsd, which replaces lp, etc. with CUPS-aware substitutes?
