I have version 3.51 of UNIX on my 3B1. I have just gotten a printer
and have found out that accept/reject do not work. They accept anything
as input and do nothing. I did a strings on them and saw that they should
report that you have to be the LP Administrator to use them.
Anyone else have this problem?? What should I do ... call AT&T?

So I su'd to lp and then: $ /usr/lib/accept Epson Parallel destination "Epson" now accepting requests destination "Parallel" now accepting requests - and conversely - $ /usr/lib/reject Epson Parallel destination "Epson" no longer accepting requests destination "Parallel" no longer accepting requests I guess the error message telling you that you should be the LP Administrator doesn't work.

What this user did was to create a new printer (not using the User Agent windows or lpsetup) using /usr/lib/lpadmin (interface called Epson) This by default creates a new printer that has the status "printer is not accepting requests", you need to issue the initial "accept" to get the printer status to: scheduler is running system default destination: Epson members of class Parallel: Epson device for Epson: /dev/lp Epson accepting requests since Jan 31 12:31 Parallel accepting requests since Jan 31 12:31 printer Epson is idle. enabled since Feb 5 21:26 If you "reject" a printer, when you attempt to queue a print job, lp returns with an error message: printer "Epson" is not accepting requests.
