Thread: lpr Issues


i'm trying out following code:

code:
lpr -# 1 -p dell testnew.gif
and can tell gets spooled print command:

code:
lpq -p dell
then disappears. nothing gets printed. now, manually print image image viewer on desktop gui (same user) , prints fine. ideas behavior?

i thought lpr doesn't process files @ all, passes them transparently printer. unless printer can understand gif data, may not know do. when using lpr, think normal pass gif file through "filter" program convert whatever print stream printer understands.
try printing plain text file instead, , see if works. like:
code:
lpr -# 1 -p dell /etc/fstab
actually, i'm guessing lpr doesn't have smarts convert file print stream, think it's worth trying print text file work out problem lies.
