- Hi all,
-
- I'm having problems printing with lpr/lpd on my system (0.99pl2 SLS 1.0).
- I can print normal text files without problems, but when I specify that
- the file to print is a .dvi file like so:
-
- lpr -d file.dvi
-
- nothing happens. lpq tells me there are "no entries" but when I do a lpc
- status I am told "lp is ready and printing". Am I using the command
- incorrectly? Is part of the lpr package missing?
-
- ADV-thanks-ANCE
