I am in the process of setting up my first Ultrix/Unix system and am having
trouble with defining a LAT queue for the system. Here's what I have:
/etc/printcap
lp1|1|line_prn:\
:af=/usr/adm/lp1acct:\
:if=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:\
:lf=usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=/dev/tty00:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/lg02of:\
:op=CS_PRINT_132
:pl#66:\
:pw#132:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:\
:ts=csts2:\
:xf=/usr/lib/lpdfilters/xf:
I attempt to start the queue using "lpc start all" and get:
lp1: daemon started
printing enabled
then I do a "lpc status all" and see
lp1: printing enabled
queueing enabled
no entries
no daemon present
When I attempt to print and then repeat the command "show status" I see:
lp1: queueing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
waiting for lp1 to connect
Then I go back to 1 entry in spool area and no daemon present.
I am using Ultrix 4.1 on a DECstation 5000. Connections from a terminal
server to the system work fine.
What am I doing wrong?

The printcap file I sent was typed in from what lpsserver created. The "manuals" aren't exactly VMS quality either. Your customer relation skills could use a little brushing up. Maybe It's just me. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Booth | Internet - BOOTH@LUB001.LAMAR.EDU Telecomm Analyst | THEnet - LUB001::BOOTH Lamar University | Beaumont, Texas | POST NO BILLS (409) 880-8531 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In printcap your are missing the field ct=lat and teh name of the terminal server should be in upper case. Make sure you use lpssetup in future. Stephen.
