People -
I'm trying to get one lpd to send jobs to another lpd, but I've been
unsuccessful so far.
This is my /etc/printcap on the client machine:
lp|hplj5|remote-hplj|Remote HP LaserJet 5:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5:\
:rm=192.168.0.1:rp=lp:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/magicfilter/filters/ljet4-filter:\
:lf=/usr/spool/lp1/hp-log:
/etc/printcap on the server machine:
lp|hplj5|HP Laserjet 5:\
:lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5:rm=192.168.0.2:rp=raw:lpr_bounce:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
this is my /etc/lpd.perms on the server machine:
DEFAULT ACCEPT
(This seems utterly rediculous but it seemed an easy way to test. when I
get it working I'll lock down the permissions considerably)
Now first, note that I'm actually forwarding jobs to an HP laserjet 5
hooked into our LAN. This may seem unnecessary, but I need this setup
for some work I'm going to be doing.
When I print something from the client machine, nothing at all happens.
sniffing for traffic on port 515 reveals very little, but there is
traffic between the three nodes (192.168.0.2 is the printer, .1 is the
server and .10 is the client). Now, when I do an 'lpq' on the client
machine, I get something like this:
sleipner: waiting for 192.168.0.1 to come up
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st root 152 /etc/printcap 2461 bytes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 0 jobs
JetDirect lpd: no entries
... and it just sits there. Nothing else happens.
Does anyone know what I've been doing wrong? I appreciate any help
anyone might be able to offer!
