| Trouble With SETUP - empty printcap file |
Hello all. I am having trouble getting apsfilter Setup on my OpenBSD machine
(3.0-current). This is probably something simple I am forgetting to do but I
am compeltely stumped as to what that problem is.
I run the setup script and configure my printer. I then in the Setup script
am able to print a test page perfectly, demonstrating that my selections
regarding the drivers, etc are corect. I then press I to install the printer
and the script says it updates /etc/printcap. Then it automatically exits the
script for me (after all the nice apsfilter information - no crash). The
problem is that it does not in fact add the printer to /etc/printcap:
# cd /etc
# ls -l printcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 131 Jan 17 20:20 printcap
*** At this point I run SETUP as described above (in another terminal) ***
# ls -l printcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 131 Jan 17 20:31 printcap
# cat printcap
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
As you can plainly see, this is not a complete printcap entry. This also
indicates that the printcap file is indeed modified, so there are no
permission issues.
I have tried both apsfilter-current-11.01.2002 and apsfilter-7.2.1 installed
from the source from apsfilter.org. I have tried different printer options in
the setup screen but for obvious reasons did not attempt the testpage print on
the other setups.
Other possibly relevant information:
results of ./configure
prefix /usr/local
bindir /usr/local/bin
datadir /usr/local/share
(will become /usr/local/share/apsfilter)
sysconfdir /usr/local/etc
(will become /usr/local/etc/apsfilter)
mandir /usr/local/man
docdir /usr/local/share/doc
(will become /usr/local/share/doc/apsfilter)
shell /usr/local/bin/zsh
awk /usr/bin/nawk
sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
printcap /etc/printcap
spooldir /var/spool/lpd
Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thanks.
