Stupid HP 722c

[evulish]

OK...still trying to get my printer to work. I've got magicfilter, pnm2ppa, lprng, and printtool installed on my debian box. I think I got /etc/printcap set up right with printtool but when I try to print, I get this error:

g0d:/home/evulish# lpr -Plp moop.txt
Status Information:
sending job 'root@g0d+605' to lp@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer lp@localhost
sending control file 'cfA605g0d' to lp@localhost
job 'root@g0d+605' transfer to lp@localhost failed
error 'ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA'
sending control file 'cfA605g0d' to lp@localhost
g0d:/home/evulish#

Any idea what causes this error or how to fix it? I've searched through google and read over the linux printing howto and dint find anything...

i've got a hp712c on debian. i used apsfilter to set everything up...worked like a charm.

i know that's not really an answer to your question....

hmmm. Have you made sure to add 'localhost' at least to your /etc/hosts.lpd ? I've used my HP970 under Debian with 'printtool', and although it's not as nice as I would like it works fine...can you post your printcap?
