I am trying to configure some Alpha V4.0
servers to be able to print text to an HP
JetDirect card (J2552A). The box says
it is compatible with "lpd for other
UNIX systems" so I would assume this should
work. In fact I get it to print something
it is not what I expected.
It does work fine from HPUX 10.x, Win95, and
NT. But when I use the following command
on the alpha V4.0 system (shenzi):
lpr -Pw300f_2 lptest
Instead of the actual text file contents,
I get the following printed on a single page:
User: root
Host: shenzi
Class: shenzi
Job: lptest
I have searched through the FAQ's and
archives for this problem and have come
up empty. Everything I have done appears
to be correct.
The version of the card:
------------------------
Firmware Revision:
HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT,
ROM A.03.15,
JETDIRECT,
EEPROM A.03.16
The /etc/printcap entry:
------------------------
w300f_2|lp61|w300f_2:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp61err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=w300f-2hp3si.polaroid.com:\
:rp=TEXT:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd61:
Has anyone seen this before?
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. I will summarize.
