printing works with the &quot;cat &lt;file&gt; &gt;&nbsp;/dev/lp&quot; command, but when i use &quot;lpr &lt;file&gt;&quot; or &quot;pr &lt;file&gt; | lpr&quot;, nothing prints. &nbsp;if i query with &quot;lpq&quot;, &quot;Warning: no daemon present&quot; and the job info is written to the screen. &nbsp;being a rookie, how can i use the lpr command _and_ start a daemon? thanks!
