Hello:

    I setup my /etc/printcap file with the following as its first line:

        rlp|Remote Printer:\

:rm=LaserWriter-IIg:sd=/var/spool/output/LaserWriter-IIg:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

    When I type this

        lpr -Prlp /etc/printcap

    I got this

        Feb 26 06:48:18 myname lpd[369]:unalbe to get address list for
remote machine
        LaserWriter-IIg: Host name lookup failure

    question:

        Where should I enter the printer's address ??

    BTW, how do you get the ethernet address of this printer ??


Sincerely,
phil wong

still trying to print after three weeks of FreeBSD use :-((
