hello is buster I can print from command line with "lp filename" but not with "lpr filename"when printing from terminal the font is a bit big and uses too much paper.apparently "enscript -FCourier10 filename" for example is supposed to work but that sends it to lpr which doesn't. Can try to get lpr to work as I have in the past or try to get enscript to use lpOr maybe there is another way to change printed font size from terminal ?
I'm not really understanding. Is "lp" to do with CUPS and "lpr" to do with lpd daemon ? I have CUPS server on other PC. on client PC $ lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: HP_LaserJet_4000_Series device for HP_LaserJet_4000_Series: socket://10.0.0.108 "lp filename" prints OK "systemctl start lpd.service" "lpr filename" (nothing happens) "enscript filename" [ 1 page * 1 copy ] sent to printer (but nothing happens) enscript filename | lp [ 1 page * 1 copy ] sent to printer lp: No file in print request. $ enscript -d filename lpr: test: unknown printer $ enscript -P filename lpr: test: unknown printerDo I need to put some sensible values in /etc/printcap to have enscript working as at the moment /etc/printcap seems to be defining a local printer ? Or is there some way to tell any printer requests should go to CUPS server ?
