Hi all, Just installed Debian on my new workstation, "satan". The workstation has an HP LaserJet 6MP that I'd like to share with other Linux computers on my home network. I use lpd, not lprng.
I'm pretty sure /etc/printcap is set up correctly on satan and the remote hosts. I'm pretty sure that /etc/hosts.lpd is set up correctly on satan. However, on other computers in the house: lucifer# lpq connection to 192.168.0.2 is down They can't seem to connect to lpd on satan. Supposedly, lpd uses port 515 to accept incoming print jobs. However, there doesn't appear to be anything listening to that port: [EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet localhost 515 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused lucifer# telnet satan 515 Trying 192.168.0.2... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused But then again, on Debian, lpd is shipped running the -s option which is described as preventing lpd from listening to tcp ports, so I'm not exactly sure how lpd accepts incoming remote jobs... 1. How exactly does lpd accept incoming remote print jobs if its configured with -s by default? 2. Should I be able to telnet to port 515 on a host that is correctly configured to accept incoming remote print jobs? 3. If lpd is supposed to bind to port 515, can anyone think of a reason why it's not? Any help appreciated! Thanks!
