Dear OSF Managers,
I am trying to connect a HP laserjet IIIP printer to the
parallel port of our DEC 2100 Server. I used the lprsetup program
for configuration which creates the following /etc/printcap file.
acrg|lp0:\
:if=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/hplaserof:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rw:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
Within the lprsetup there is an option for the HPIIIP printer.
However on trying to print all jobs are queued with the following line
displayed by the lpstat -a command.
acrg:
printer is on device '/dev/lp0' speed -1
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
Mon Jan 22 14:01:17 1996: waiting for acrg to become ready (offline ?)
All jobs sent to the printer remain queued. However if I send a PS
file directly to the printer. ie
cat <filname.ps> > /dev/lp0
the printer works fine.
Any suggestions on fixing the above would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Paul
