installing printer

josef · 09-20-2002, 01:27 AM

I installed rh7.3 and that, i think, included my hp 840c printer installation.
Now i try to print an ASCII file typing:

lpr filename

and i get the following error message:

Sending job to missingprinter@localhost
Cannot open connection to localhost
Make sure that the remote host supports LPD protocol

How do i install the printer ?

Thanx !

I installed it using "Printtool" and it works fine now !
