Maybe if you compare them you will find the problem. lp|laser|ljet4;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=:\ :rm=192.168.5.251:\ # :rp=192.168.5.251:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/laser/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/laser/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this A regular line printer that I use to print checks from another unix box is: cheques|Impresora para cheques:\ :sh:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if.sh: \ :rm=192.168.5.250:sd=/var/spool/output/cheques:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: I also have a line printer for accounting that has a wide carrage and it is. lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :rm=192.168.5.252:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: # :rm=192.168.5.251:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: All my windows machines can print to all as can the unix boxes.
