- Try using the cat command to redirect the 13 page file to the device:
-
- cat file.ps > /dev/lp0
-
- This should determine whether the problem is related to the queuing system
- and printer backend.
-
- If cat'ing the file worked fine, then the problem is in the queueing/backend.
- If it still does not work, then it appears there is a device driver or
- communications problem.
