Hello,
I have been trying to follow the Guide's section on printing
with lpd, but I can't seem to make it work. I can dump text
straight to lpa0, but I get
the
staircase effect. I added
"lpd=YES" to /etc/rc.conf and checked that it is running. I
edited /etc/printcap to include something almost identical
to example 11.1 and created /usr/local/libexec/lpfilter and
made a few directories as suggested. When I try
"lptest 70 5|lpr -h", nothing happens. Any pointers or
suggestions would be most welcome.
This is on NetBSD/i386-2.1. CUPS and similar evils need not
apply.
