Hi,
while seeting up grml (HD-install) as my new working environmnet, I wanted to print on my CUPS printer server via cups-client from my grml running notebook:
Printing via "old" (BSD style) commands
lpr $somefile
always returns something like:
"jobs queued, but cannot start daemon." and no page was printing :(
Because "lpstat -o -p -d" shows all available printer queues, I was perplexed
After playing around a bit I noticed that
# aptitude show lpr Unable to find an archive "grml" for the package "lpr" Package: lpr State: installed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is the problem. When printing via CUPS you need the wrapper package "cupsys-bsd" instead of "lpr" to be installed - otherwise all print jobs are handled by old BSD style lpr queue :/
This is _not_ really a grml bug, but maybe coexistent installing both of these packages should be thought over.
Maybe this report helps other folks with same troubles
