Re: Can't print to remote printer

[Richard E. Hawkins]

I had a couple working along the lines of

printername:\
        :lp=/dev/null:sh:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/spoolname:\
        :rm=<fully qualified name>:rp=raw

where I had to create the directory /var/spool/lpd/spoolname.

If you try to have multiple printers share that spool, things get 
flaky. Then again, lpd's been flaky in general (dying without reason) 
on some machines for a couple of years now.
