We are trying to configure
PANASONIC KX-P1150 printer to Qnx 6.1.
After starting the PC enumerator doesnot start the printer deamons.
But devc-par & spooler are running (if we see pidin arg we get spooler -d
/dev/par1)
So we did all these things
Created
The /etc/printcap file as below
lpt1|tpptr|printer in techpubs department:
:lp=/dev/par1:
:sd=/usr/spool/output/lpt1:
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:
:lp=/dev/va0:sd=/usr/spool/vad:of=/usr/lib/vpf:
:tf=/usr/lib/rvcat:mx#2000:pl#58:px=2112:py=1700:tr=\f:
:if=/usr/lib/lib/vpf:tf=/usr/lib/rvcat:af=/usr/adm/vaacct:
:ms=evenp,-tabs,nl,crtscts:
:mx#2000:pl#58:px=2112:py=1700:tr=\f:
This printcap file is taken from the sys admin guide from QNX website.
The spooler & other necessary directories are created as specified in
printcap file
Then started lpd (tpptr is the printer name)
lpd tpptr &
using lprc program we knew the status of the printer is
#lprc
- queue is enabled
- printer is started
- There is no entries in spool directory
after this gave print command at command prompt,
lpr -P tpptr /root/s1.txt
after this if we give lprc we get
#lprc
- queue is enabled
- printer is started
- There is 1 entry in spool directory
Now the problem is whatever files I gave for a print it will be added in the
spool area. I am able to see all the job entries which are lying in spool
area using lprq command.
But I am not able to get the print out opn the printer
Am i missing some thing, Is printcap file correct .Is there anything else to
be added or RUN.
Please advice
Thanks in advance
Hi vasdev,
Is this a networked printer or a local parallel printer?
If it is a local printer and you reboot your system it should detect the
printer automatically without all the stuff below. A way to test this would
be to rename the below printcap or move it to another location, reboot the
system and then go to the following menu
Launch->Configure->Print Manager
If the printer was autodetected then you will see the name of the printer in
this application. From the pidin below it appears that the printer was auto
detected.

Also, check this out:

It has good info on printer installation.

After i moved /etc/printcap file,
I could not see any printers in Print Manager
Now how to test?
From the pidin below it appears that the printer was auto
detected.
