Subject:   2.2 printcap entry -- a no-go on 3.0
Message-ID:  <19980402200534.02094@ct.picker.com>

I had these entries in my FreeBSD 2.2 printcap (attached) and all 3 queues
worked fine.  But on 3.0, the "text" queue doesn't work.

When I try to print to the text queue, the job doesn't print, and lpc gives:

  Warning: text is down: printing disabled
  Warning: no daemon present
  Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
  1st    rhh        70   tobuy                                 1414 bytes

but lpd is there and working fine for the "lp" and "ps" queues.

Puzzling since the "lp" and "text" queues are functionally the same except
for the ff code.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
