I’m trying to use my HP LaserJet 5L with RTOS 6.x, well, under terminal this
works fine:
cat >/dev/par1
Hello, this is some text
ctrol-L
and I did get the sentence on paper.
but, when I open my code and try to print it out, my system could not show
me the printer(I have no choice from the printer list), how to configure my
printer?

Merci

Hello Jun,

Take a look at the documentation found at
http://qdn.qnx.com/support/docs/sysadmin/docs/wip.html

There is a section in there that goes through setting up printers and it
may be of some help to you.

Regards,
Dave B.

Thanks Dave,
I took a look with the file you refered me.It seems to be kind of harder
than I’d expected.

Thank you
Have a blessed day

It sounds like your printer was not automatically detected.
Try this:

  1. Exit all printing dialogs.
  2. (as root) slay spooler
  3. (as root) Run “/usr/sbin/spooler -d /dev/par1 -c pcl.cfg”

Then try printing again.
