[aclug-L] Re: Printcap

[Craig Terhune <craigter@xxxxxxxxx>]

The reason why I'm asking is that my printer just quit working. It does not do
anything, except when you reboot, it acts as though it starts up but does not
respond to print commands. Should I check  /var/spool/? to check on the print
job.? What is the command line request for the same?
 Jon, what about the Xterminal? Could you bring it to the next meeting
