Linux Problem

["mimiturnage:First mimiturnage:Last" <mimiturnage at earthlink dot net>]

Dear Bug Report,

 

               I installed Red Hat Linux Secrets cd for Unix but I didn't install printer support.  So I went back in and installed it, and every since I installed it I still cannot get it to print.  I tried the lpr command and I keep getting an error message that says "unknown printer".  When I installed print support it did not have a category for my printer.  I have an Lexmark 5000 Series Color Jet Printer.  So I chose the category IBM 3853 Jet Printer because it was the only thing I could find for Jet Printer.  I also defined my environment variable as "PRINTER=ibm; export PRINTER", then I typed "export PRINTER=ibm" and I also went under /etc/printcap and typed

                   lp:\

                          #ibmjp:\

                          :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\

                          :mx#0:\

                          :sh:\

                          :lp=/dev/lp1:\

                          :if=/var/spool/lpd/filter:

and theirs a line in there that has ##PRINTTOOL3##LOCAL jetp3852 84 X 84 Letter

{} IBMJetPrinter3853 Default.  But lpr still gives me error messages that says "unknown printer".  Can you please help.

 

                                                                    Thanks,

                                                                     Mimi
