lpd

Cause: CUPS was configured to use IPv4 addresses. LPD was configured to use domain names. A change to the printer addresses and to DNS allowed LPD to work and broke CUPS. Solution: Reconfigure printers in CUPS to use IPP to printer domain names. OP: I am seeing this in lpstat -p -d -R: #...

I have been having problems getting LPD to work on FreeBSD 12.0 . I must admit it has been some years since I have used LPD specifically for printing but I have spent quite a lot of time trying to get this working on bare metal and virtual machines and I consistently get the same result. My...

Lately I've been contemplating on nuking my macOS partition and using FreeBSD exclusively for the foreseeable future, but one thing I need a decent printing experience. I'm wondering a few things; - How does one confirm driver support for my printer? (Canon MG5220) - Any recommended printer...

Hi all, Is it possible to print from Libreoffice having compiled it without CUPS support? I went through quite a bit of trouble getting my printer to work with LPD (works flawlessly), and was encouraged to do so because it's is the base system, and can do everything I need it to, etc. I've...

Hello, I'm attempting to print to a Konica Minolta bizhub 454e. According to the spec sheet it supports postscript. Our department administrator supplied us with a modified PPD file where we have to enter our login credentials. I believe my login credentials are correct, because I can log in...

Hello out there. I've been trying to connect my printer to hplip for the last month or so. I've read all the articles posted and still can't get my printer to hook up. When I run dmesg I get the following printout: gen5.2: <HP> at usbus5 ulpt0: <HP Deskjet F4400 series, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00...

After installing FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE on two systems which were previously running 9.1, this time with packages instead of ports, I can no longer print. The printer still works with: % nc XER 9100 < prtst.txt so I know it is not a hardware problem. I have followed Warren Block's excellent...
