Dear All - I have two Debian boxes, one of which has a printer connected
to it. The printer works (magicfilter), I can print from the local
machine (echo 'Hello World' |lp), and also from my other Win boxes using
Samba.
What I have not been able to do is print from another Debian system. If
I try to print from my laptop which has the following printcap:
lp|hplj4l|HP Laserjet 4L Thuis:\
:lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4l:rm=192.168.1.2:rp=hplj4l:lpr_bounce:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
I get this on the laptop:
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 'HP Laserjet 4L Thuis'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active

no connect permissions
>From the printing-howto I have learned that the remote machine needs
permission to print, so I created on the printserver /etc/hosts.lpd
which contains only '+', but that did not help.
Any pointers much appreciated!
