I've been using lpd for printing on my home desktop machine running woody
and am comfortable with it. Recently I acquired a laptop machine
pre-installed with sarge which uses cups. The laptop is connected to
the deskton via a LAN, and I would like print from the laptop using the
printer on the desktop. I added the hostname of the laptop to
/etc/hosts.lpd on the desktop, and then ran following command to add the
remote printer on the laptop:
lpadmin -p lp -E -v socket://isis:515
where "isis" is the name of the desktop machine and 515 appears to be the
port on which lpd listens.
If I try :
lp <somefile>
I get an acknowledgment:
request id is lp-9 (1 file(s))
but lpstat shows no queued jobs. lpstat -t shows:
scheduler is running
system default destination: lp
device for lp: socket://isis:515/
lp accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
printer lp is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
Received 47 bytes of back-channel data!
There are files c0000n in /var/spool/cups for the print jobs, but otherwise
the jobs just seem to disappear.
I can see no evidence that the print requests ever made it to the desktop
machine.
Do I have to do something else to let cups know that the remote system
is running lpd rather than cups?
