Hi,
I have set up two linux boxes with debian 2.1 and kernel 2.2.10
The first box (named gateway) handle print service on a LasetJet 6MP
connected directly.
The second box (named server) is the one on which I actually work.
I want to print from server to gateway, but nothing works!
On gateway, /etc/printcap is like that:
gateway:/# cat /etc/printcap

And on server, /etc/printcap is:
server:/# cat /etc/printcap
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See the printcap(5) manual page for further
# details.

:sh:

Now on gateway, everything works fine.
gateway:/# lpc status all

gateway:/# lpq -a
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'HP Laserjet 6MP'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: server finished at 17:32:10
gateway:/#
But on server, if I try the command lpq, I have the following message:
server:/# lpc status all
Printer Printing Spooling Jobs Server Slave Redirect
Status/Debug
[EMAIL PROTECTED] enabled enabled 0 none none
server:/# lpq -a
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 'Remote printer on gateway'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
server:/# lpq
lp: no permission to show status
server:/#
I don't understand what's wrong and there is nothing in the HOWTO's.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Greeting, Florian
