[QUOTE="Ashcrow, post: 110883"] Hey Guys, I can't seem to get lp from the command line to work properly. I have USB printer hooked up to my Powerbook and it shows up correctly in my printers list ... but when I run the command lp -d LabelWriter_330_Turbo -oraw /tmp/1115728119.29 it returns request id is LabelWriter_330_Turbo-606 (1 file(s)) but nothing happens. If I watch the Printer List closely I see if say Printing for a split second before disappearing. I also noticed the following on the console: [CODE] [10/May/2005:11:56:21 -0400] Printer 'LabelWriter_330_Turbo' started by ''. I [10/May/2005:11:56:47 -0400] Adding start banner page "none" to job 604. I [10/May/2005:11:56:47 -0400] Adding end banner page "none" to job 604. I [10/May/2005:11:56:47 -0400] Job 604 queued on 'LabelWriter_330_Turbo' by 'work'. I [10/May/2005:12:06:05 -0400] Adding start banner page "none" to job 605.

I [10/May/2005:12:08:30 -0400] Adding start banner page "none" to job 606. I [10/May/2005:12:08:30 -0400] Adding end banner page "none" to job 606. I [10/May/2005:12:08:30 -0400] Job 606 queued on 'LabelWriter_330_Turbo' by 'work'. [/CODE] The reason I need to use lp is I am working on an python application for OS X which needs basic printing support and I figured this is the besy way to do it. All help is appreciated! :-) [/QUOTE]
