- Hello everyone,
-
- I have a small ethernet of two NeXTstation Turbos and a Sun Sparcstation
- IPC with a Sparcprinter connected to its video port. The NeXTstations do not
- run NetInfo. Usual network applications such as telnet and ftp all work. When
- I tried to print from the NeXT to the Sparcprinter, nothing got printed and I
- got an error message saying that all or some pages will NOT be printed.
-
- Here is what I did on the NeXTstations:
-
- 1) niload printcap / < /etc/printcap
- 2) reboot
-
- The printcap on the NeXT is as follows
-
- lp|sparcprinter:rm=cable:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:
-
- Any idea what the problem is or what I did wrong? Thanks!
