Hi all,
Well Dec support sorted out the problem in a minute. When I
changed the firmware and powered
on the terminal server I had forgotten to configure the name
for the terminal server. (When we did a ---> show server the
name which showed up was the same as the address of the
90L+)
Once I changed the name of 90L+ Printing is working fine .
I aso want to thank Jude from the forum( jude_at_tsi.com.my.) for
the immediate response . The response from Jude was as follows:
Check your /etc/printcap file and make sure the following line`rw' is
removed. The explanation is that this tells lpd' to open the device in
read/write mode rather than write only mode.
