help figure out why I can't print the mail with linux after setting up all
the modules and printcap and switching to 'user' which I need to do to use
printcap?
The telnet protocol does not provide for routing data automatically to
a local printer, AFAIK. Is kermit supposed to support printing from
telnet? When you try to print from it, do the file(s) actually show up
in the print queue?
DOS kermit supports printing of my email directly to my printer, direct-dialed and I think also telnetted using Kermit telnet.
Linux kermit does not, in my experiment. I don't recall the details.
I will try to answer your question in a few days. I think first I need to insmod lp as root, then switch to user, then kermit as user. Please remind me how to look at the print queue. I normally don't use lp and printcap, just cat and netpbm to print.
Why can't we print with lp as root? Is there some file missing or truncated that normally supports this?
