[SL] printing

[Bill D. <wa...@gm...>]

Hi:

I have been using SL for a couple of years now and have never run into
this problem before.

My printer is named hp_lj_1020.

I can print from the firefox browser.

I have cups installed.

I have latex installed.

The problem is I can't print to the printer from SL. When I try to
print an invoice to the printer using either postscript or pdf, I get
nothing. The browser seems to refresh but the printer is silent.
Nothing happens.

The relevant section of my sql-ledger.conf file is:

# available printers
%printer = ( Laser	=> 'lpr -Php_lj_1020',
             Epson	=> 'lpr -PEpson',
	     );

I can print from other programs.

The following command in my shell prints out the sql-ledger.conf file:

cat ./sql-ledger.conf | lpr -Php_lj_1020.

The above entry for Epson is just left over from the
sql-ledger.conf.default file which I used as my model.

I am at a complete loss on how to solve this problem.

Any ideas?

Is there something wrong with my latex installation? I am running
Puppy Linux. This is a very fast linux (since it loads a lot into
memory) and I would like to make it my primary distribution, but this
SL printing problem is holding me up.

I am an accountant by profession and not a computer programmer.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bill Dika
