CUPS lp print problems
« on: July 23, 2013, 08:13:54 PM »
Dear SME fellows.

I am having problems using "lp" printfunction with CUPS on new SME8. I can print testpages from CUPS Web interface where I have setup my printers. But when I fire following command

Code: [Select]
lp -d ta6520@mps1 -o media=A4 test.pdf
I am getting following error

Code: [Select]
Status Information, attempt 1 of 3:
sending job 'root@mps1+842' to ta6520@mps1
 connecting to 'mps1', attempt 1
 cannot open connection to mps1 - No such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Waiting 10 seconds before retry

I believe that the server does not know to use CUPS as printsystem, I just can't find how to change this setting.

Uninstalled CUPS and LPR and reinstalled CUPS. Now everything is working.
