Hi, I try to build up a print server "printe" (192.168.1.3) for my little local network based on Debian 1.3.1. Using lpd, magicfilter, and gs-aladin (plus gsfonts), "wotan-e" (192.168.1.1) should be able to print a PostScript file to "printe". Local printing on "printe" is fine, and network services (ping, telnet, ftp) work. But remote printing just results in:
wotan-e:~> lpr printcap.ps; lpq wotan-e: waiting for queue to be enabled on 192.168.1.3 Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st kws 0 printcap.ps 6557 bytes printe: /usr/sbin/lpd: ps: Your host does not have line printer access Yes, I have an /etc/hosts.lpd file (and hosts.equiv, too) allowing "wotan-e" access to "printe". My /etc/hosts defines the machines as shown above. Has anyone (who perhaps managed the setup of a print server...) a clue, what is going on here? I'm sure I'm missing something... The /etc/printcap files of both machines are shown at the end of this post.
