Every time I get the printer set up, it somehow manages to fail sometime later, and I have NO IDEA why. It seems that there's just one little thing that I keep missing, and I have no idea what it is.I have no difficulty printing the test page, but I can't seem to print anything else. The DSL menu -> System -> Printer/lpd -> start procedure and the "export PRINTER=lp" command aren't enough to fix things. The contents of the env command do show PRINTER=lp The contents of my .filetool.lst file (relevant to printing) are: opt/printcap opt/apsfilter var/spool/lpd/lp The contents of opt/printcap are: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL lp|stp/escp2-740;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\ :if=/usr/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this HELP! What's the one critical thing I'm missing? Could someone PLEASE list everything I need to check when things aren't printing? Posted by jhsu on June 19 2008,21:01
The directory /ramdisk/var/spool/lpd has no files. I'm thinking that this has something to do with my problem. But what? What should be in this directory, and how do I get the appropriate content in?
