I am new to FreeBSD and having problem with using a printer. I have two printers on my computer Epson LQ 2550 on lpt0 and Canon BJ 300 on lpt1, but I can use only one (Epson) and I do not know why. The relevent section of /etc/printcap file is as follow: epson|lp|Epson LQ 2550:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :lf=/var/log/epson.log:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: canon|bj|Canon BJ 330:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/canon:\ :lp=/dev/lpt1:\ :lf=/var/log/canon.log:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter: #lpc status before using 'canon' printer: lpc status epson: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle canon: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle #Look up into /var/log/lpd-errs file reads as follow: Oct 20 09:46:07 dmd lpd[111]: restarted #If I use lpr -Pcanon cls.c than nothing happens, however lpq -Pcanon is printing Worning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files 1st marek 33 cls.c lpc status queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle canon: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area printer idle Look up into /var/log/lpd-errs file this time is different Oct 20 13:41:49 dmd lpd[1670]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory Communication between canon printer and lpt1 is OK What can I do to make both printers working?
