Could someone please tell me why I cannot print remotely. I have
the following entry in my /etc/printcap file, which works with
Sys V systems, and some BSD systems.
postscript:\
:lp=:rm=office:rp=kodak-ps:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/postscript:
It doesnt work with 386BSD. What have I done wrong?
(PS: It comes up with the following error messages :
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
