Re: Printing to a network printer
NHOMFP01|lp119|nhomfp01:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp119err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=nhomfp01:\
:rp=nhomfp01:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd119:
NHOMFP03|lp142|nhomfp03:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp142err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=nhomfp03:\
:rp=nhomfp03:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd142:
The nhomfp03 is a network printer we want to print to from this system. The lp142 is an arbitrary name I created for this printer. do I have to follow some specific rule to create this printer name (lp142)?
Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to test this setup?

Re: Printing to a network printer
I tried the following lpr commandline,
lpr -Pnhomfp03 /etc/printcap
it sends the printcap file to the printer, but the output is is not indented properly and it only prints few lines on the page:
abc|lp0:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with my printing command/configuration and how to fix this error?
Thanks

Re: Printing to a network printer
Let me elaborate more about the problem.
When the 5.1B-4 system sends a print job to the Lexmark laser printer, the printer prints it in "stair stepping" form:
eg.
LINE 1
LINE 2
LINE 3.
I am sending a text file to the printer with lpr command:
lpr -Plp142 /etc/printcap
Thanks

Re: Printing to a network printer
Does it have HP Jet direct?
Did you setup these printers using lprsetup?

Re: Printing to a network printer
This is a LEXMARK network laser printer. I am not sure what type of print it is.
We only knows its hostname and IP. I didn't use lprsetup to configure the printer.
Thanks
