Hi,
Can you verify that your lpd daemon is running on vayu.xrdlab.mysore ? I would check that first. Hi, I am trying to set up my printcap to print on to a laser printer connected to another machine. My /etc/printcap is as follows: #Local haralu.xrdlab.mysore lp|ex1000:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ex1000:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/epsonlq-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: #Remote laser|lj|hplj4mp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4mp:\ :rm=vayu.xrdlab.mysore:\ :rp=hplj4mp:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sh: On the machine vayu.xrdlab.mysore, my /etc/host.lpd has an entry haralu.xrdlab.mysore. On haralu, if I give a command lpr -Plaser test.ps I get the following message: lpr: connect: Connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. lpq shows 'no entries' on both the machines. If it is of any help, I can ping the machines and telnet between them. Any pointers would be appreciated.
