I am having aproblem getting lp (& lpr) to work. I can print by su-ing to 
root and cat-ting to the device /dev/lpt0 (an HP-4 with postscript), but 
lp (and lpr) just give me balnk pages.

My printcap file (/etc/printcap) is:

#	@(#)printcap	5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90

lp|local line printer:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

#lp|local line printer:\
#	:lp=/dev/lp:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

All of the directories and file for this printcap file exist.
What am I doing wrong?
