Re: Printer instalation

the name I added to /etc/hosts is used in
rm=KY54503B is there a problem ?

The printer model is a KYOCERA MITA.
How do i check the printserver model?

when i send any file to the print it says:
Job Number is: 24

after that i use the command lpc -P and it shows :

[dasscws1] /etc >2004: sending files to 10.251.21.194 to be printedRank Pri Ow
ner Job Files Total Size
1st 0 root 24 services 4409 bytes

no entries

Is this right ?

Thanks a lot
Bruno

Re: Printer instalation

Hi,

if you use the numeric ip address for rm then there is no need to add it too /etc/hosts. Clear?

So it seems you have a Kyocera 3800. I found no reference of a network card in this printer.

Please post the following outputs.
ping -c 1 KY54503B
lpc status KY54503B
telnet KY54503B

please try also to send a text file with ftp to the printer.

success,

Michael

Hi,

before you try the other commands, try

Re: Printer instalation

Hi,

I got a little confused. This should have been:
lpr -Ppoafisc /.profile
lpc status poafisc

Have you tried to print with ftp?

Re: Printer instalation

Bruno,
I feel that you are mixing different things.
To print on the kyocera, you must give the command
lpr -P lp17 /.profile
or
lpr -P poafisc /.profile

lp17 or poafisc is the entry that you defined for your printer in /etc/printcap.

This printer can be reached by sending data to a printserver with IP address defined in the rm-variable (10.251.21.94 in your case)

Now, in fact the printserver module in your printer should be considered as a computer that runs also a lpd daemon. In this printserver, there are some printerqueues configured with specific names and functions. fi: a printerqueue that will be used to print raw data, another queue that can be used to di some CR/LF processing, etc... (typical queue-names might be raw, ascii,..)
These names are specific for different brands of printservers. Therefore, we must know what type of printserver is installed in your Kyocera printer.
In the documentation of your printserver module, you should be able to find back this information. If you have these queue names, you will be able to fill in the rp: value in /etc/printcap.

Hope that this makes it more clear

Joris

ps.
I was looking into your profile and I couldn't help but notice, that your assignment ratio is below 10%.
