SuSE-INTERN:
Symptom:
You've installed SuSE Linux 6.3 and configured your printer but when you try to print, for instance with the command lpr Filename
, you receive the error message bash: lpr: command not found
Cause:
The package lprold
(Series n), which is usually installed automatically, has not been installed.
Solution:
Install the package lprold
(Series n) as follows:
- Change to user "root" and start YaST.
- Under YaST choose menu item
Choose/Install Pacakges
,
- then
Change/Create Configuration
,
- then choose Series "
n Network Support (TCP/IP, UUCP, Mail, News)
";
- from which you should select the Package "
[X] lprold BSD Print Spooling System
".
- Return to the main menu by pressing F10 twice and then choose
Start Installation
- During the installation of the lprold package the printer-configuration file
/etc/printcap
was replaced. You'll need to configure the printer again, or replace the new file with an eventual backup-file printcap.rpmorig
or
printcap.rpmsave
.
