Hi.
Looking to figure out what I've missed/left out in setting up printer
access to a network/wireless HP printer. I can access the printer from
the same box if i select print from the "gedit" app...
But I can't figure out/recall what has to be used from the command line!!!
$ lpc status
HP-Officejet-Pro-8600:

$ lpq
HP-Officejet-Pro-8600 is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
active ihubuse 10 child.php 1024 bytes
1st ihubuse 12 (stdin) 4096 bytes
so, if i have a test file "cat.txt", I thought the command to print was
lpr -P HP-Officejet-Pro-8600 cat.txt
but that appears to just place the file in the queue..
now, i can get the file to pring if i open the file in the gedit app,
and do a print!!
so, what the heck am i forgetting!!
thanks
Your lpr command prints a file on my system. Try clearing the cups
queue first.
