I have been trying for about a month to get lpr to work on my system.
I can cat a ps file directly to /dev/lpt0 and it prints -- but lpr gives
me blank pages.
All I am asking for is for someone to send me a working printcap file for
a psotscript printer. I have an HP-4 with postscript added.
There has to be someone out there who is using a PS printer. Please send
me a copy of your /etc/printcap file.
Thanks.
