Default Re: Printer Problem

Hey long time no see man!!

You worked on my printer problem at one point. Not sure if you remember.

The first option absoultely nothing happened.

> echo "does this print" | /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piohpnpf -x
> <printerHostname>


This option it seemed ot hang for a while but never sent anything to the
printer. It said it was connected however.

The second time I tried it I got

telnet: connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.
