I posted some questions about printing to an ip address earlier. Thanks
for those who have helped so far.
More questions:
I'm running hamm, 2.0.33 and LPRng print spooling package. I'm trying
to print to
an HP laserjet through a jetdirect card with an ip address.
I've edited my /etc/printcap file to look like this:
rlp|Remote printer entry:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:rm=12.10.35.3:\
:rp=debian test printer:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp1:\
:mx#0
:sh:
Does that look right so far? Are the :\ marks correct? They weren't in
the file origianally, but I added them from a Unix machine's example.
Also, on startup, it appears that there are 2 lpd print spoolers started
since I installed the LPRng package. This doesn't seem right. What can
I do about it?
In /var/spool/lpd directory, I have the following directories and files:
lp lp1 lpd.lock.debian.printer
Shouldn't there be an rlp directory? I created the lp1 directory. Is
that right?
In the lp directory, the status.lp file contains many "/dev/lp1 cannot
connect" errors
I've modified the /etc/hosts.lpd file to include 2 computers that I want
to be able to connect to the printcap file. Is there a way to set this
so all computer can connect, and not just a limited few?
>From what I've indicated here, is there anything else I need to do to be
able to print? Any permissions I need to check out, esp. in the spool
directory? Make your answers as simple as possible, because I'm still
fairly new at this.
Thanks for your help,
Brian
