<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have been trying for a while to get my canon bjc-240 to work under Linux.<br />
&nbsp;I have read the printing-HOWTO, but still have a few questions...<br />
<br />
I am able to cat text to the printer, but I get a staircase effect. &nbsp;I<br />
understand that I need to set up filters in lpd to take care of this... <br />
What is the easiest way to go about this?<br />
<br />
When I do lpr filename, I get the message: connection to lp@myhostname<br />
failed - connection refused.<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong? &nbsp;If anyone has the same printer, your lpd.conf and<br />
printcap would be extremely helpful.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!<br />

Linux General question

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
