I have a linux (Fedora 22) machine and two thermal printers with a Digitus print server attached to each one. All are on the same LAN. Digitus print servers are each running LPD daemon and each one is configured to offer just one queue: lpd://192.168.1.2/queue and lpd://192.168.1.3/queue I just want to be able to lpr a file from Fedora to an LPD server using only an LPR client (No full CUPS install). I tried cups-client (dnf install cups-client), which installs lpr binary and I added the remote print servers to my /etc/printcap, but I get Bad file descriptor error whenever I run lpr. Any ideas?
