I believe the answer lies in the /etc/lpd.perms
That is the print server that will recieve the jobs. It is commented well,
but the time I tried to make it so I could print from one Linux box
to the other, I could not print from the print server to itsself. Then of
course you have to configure the remote machine so it will print to the print
server. This is a printcap entry I have for printing to a remote machine.
lp|hplj5si|HP LaserJet 5si:\
:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5si:rm=imhplj5si:rp=hplj5si:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
If you get the permissions set on the machine with the physically connected
printer so that a remote printer can print to it, along with a user on that
machine being able to print to it, let me know. I have yet to get this
configured.
Of course check /usr/doc/lprng for info too.
