HP Printer

[web2905]

I am running Mdk 7.1 and trying to get my HP LaserJet III D to print. Whet I test a print job I receive the following: error printing test page to queue lp0 : error reason : lpr connect : connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. How do I remedy this ? I need a working printer.

Easiest thing to do is to use the Printtool that loads with KDE. These build you a working filter and spool directly. I believe that model is even listed for during the automatic setup. Is it PostScript? You can try this in the /etc/printcap:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 300x300 letter {} PostScript Default
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:\
:rp=yourQue:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:

Oh, just realized, connection refused. Check the rights on your filter and spool directory. Also, i just realized I gave you my printcap for a networked printer. Cannot start daemon? do this:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/./lpd start

or

killall -HUP lpd
