  1. Troubleshooting problems with lpstyl
  2. ------------------------------------
  3. Before you send me email with questions about this driver, please do two
  4. things:
  5. - Read through this file and make sure your question isn't answered here
  6. - Add the flag '-vvvvv' to the invocation of 'lpstyl' in whichever driver
  7. script you're using, and look at the output in the lpd-errs file.
  8. Without this information, it's very unlikely that I'll be able to
  9. make any useful suggestions.
  10. Q: "lpr gives me the message 'jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.'"
  11. A: lpd needs to be running for printing to work. What's more, it needs
  12. to run as root to work correctly. lpd is normally run from the system
  13. startup scripts, and most systems have a config file that determines
  14. whether it is run at boot.
  15. Q: "Does lpstyl work with the StyleWriter 4100?"
  16. A: No, but the 4100 is supported directly by GhostScript. I believe
  17. the option for the HP 550, 560, or 6xxC is what you want.
  18. Q: "Where can I get the Apple drivers for the StyleWriter XXX?"
  19. A: You'd be surprised how often I get this one. The following page
  20. will tell you which driver software supports your StyleWriter:
  21. http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n30153
  22. All of the printers supported by lpstyl are listed as working with
  23. either the "Color StyleWriter 1500" driver:
  24. http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n10264
  25. or the "Color StyleWriter 2500" driver:
