Hi all,
It looks like I got printing to work finally
the /etc/printcap now looks like this:
#
lp|local line printer:\
|lp=/dev/par0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:sh:
#
(the :sh: turns off that unwanted banner)
Anyway, if anyone else wanted to get their generic printer on the parallel port
working for NetBSD, that is the file to change.
Then things like:
> lpr <file>
or
> man <cammand> | lpr
work great :)
Now, I am REAL close on getting pppd to work, but I must be forgetting something
small here.
I have a resolv.conf in /etc that looks like
#
domain teleport.com
nameserver 192.108.154.11
lookup file bind
#
and I run Kermit to dial in by hand on /dev/ttym0 at 38400
the run
> pppd /dev/ttym0 38400 passive
and it logs in to telelport and gets the dynamic IP addresses and looks like it
Is running.
But I can't telnet to 192.108.154.12 (linda) on of teleports UNIX machines :I
Any ideas?
Nick
