Hello,
I've been beating my head against the wall about what's probably a simple
problem, so I thought I'd ask the list for help.
I've set up my RH 5.0 PC as a print server for several machines using lpd.
Unfortunately, it only works if the remote user has an account on the
local machine. The man page for lpd/printcap has some stuff about a "rs"
capability which is supposed to do just that, limit remote print requests
to users with accounts on the local machine, but I don't want that
behavior, and I don't have that enabled.
How can I enable printing for everyone? I've got the machines listed in
/etc/hosts.lpd, and I've restarted lpd.
If I turn on logging, I can see the request come in, but the remote files
are never transfered to the local queue (unless the request is from an
account which also exists on the local machine).
Please help me before I pull the rest of my hair out too!
Thanks,
Jon
