Dear Managers,
On my site we have just installed networked DEC printserver 17 & 32+'s.
I am trying to setup my Alpha running DU4.0 to print to these devices.
I have added the printer name and IP address to my /etc/host file and
created a /etc/printcap as below.
psc_001|lp0|PSC_001:\
:ct=remote:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=_at_psc_001:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/lpf:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rp=psc_001:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
After an 'init q', I attempted a test print using
'lptest | lpr -Ppsc_001'
'lpstat -t' produces the following:-
System default destination: lp
Scheduler is running
Output for printer psc_001 is sent to _at_psc_001
psc_001:
printer is on device '_at_psc_001' speed -1
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
Requests on psc_001:
Warning: no daemon present

But no output is produced, any ideas would be very welcome, thanks in
advance.
