I have a network printer (np4175) to which I wish to direct hardcopy output from
.
If in
then I get this error:
If I do not alter the printdevice then hardcopy goes to the default system printer.
Q. How do I redirect hardcopy output to np4175?
A. Oddly enough, the answer is in the question:
An entry in /etc/printcap gives the printer name as the first field.
The problem, for me, is that this important piece of information does not appear to be reported in any of the common lp utilites; at least as far as I could discover.
