Lp printing

[dragon2611]

Im trying to get LP printing working on osx

The offical HP driver for my PSC 1110 doesn't support printing from cups so i installed the hpijs driver, i think i have an LP queue setup heres my config file .

(/etc/xinetd.d/printer)

service printer
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/libexec/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
groups = yes
flags = REUSE
}

Server:/etc/xinetd.d Dragon$ lpstat -v
device for psc1100: usb://Hewlett-Packard/psc%201100%20series?serial=MY3ACF301BB0
Server:/etc/xinetd.d Dragon$

(sometimes that lists a second printer depending if the offical driver is loaded or not (i removed it when trouble shooting, i know the hpijs driver works becuase i can print to it from textedit)

Server:/etc/xinetd.d Dragon$ lpr -P psc1110 printer
lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found
Server:/etc/xinetd.d Dragon$


Could anyone shed some light on where i've gone wrong.

If you download and install CUPS bundle, Gutenprint, you can consult the included documentation to properly setup your HP.

I have that however it didn't have an option on the list for my printer.

Reread my post. I didn't say that Gutenprint directly supported your specific printer. I recommended that you download it because it includes CUPS documentation.
