Do I still have the lpd daemon running when I'm printing ? I tried with and without the daemon and it still will not print anymore. Are you sure it's 9100 (JetDirect) and not 515 (printer) ? I'm also unsure why you don't have the rp=raw1 anymore. I thought I needed that to specifiy which jetdirect port you're wanting to print out of. Yet I tried it with and without that. :/ You're sure there's no way to turn off the banner page ? Is this a bug in lpd ?
