Hi
I don't seem to be able to get something simple
to work. I've got a RH4.2 box set up as a printer
server and it is supposed to accept remote requests.
I have the client hosts listed in /etc/hosts.lpd as
I've been instructed by various sources of documentation.
as follows:
client.our.domain
This is apparently all I have to do. I can print locally
just fine. I get the following result from one of the
client hosts:
# lpc status lp0
lp0:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
5 entries in spool area
waiting for queue to be enabled on printserver
and /etc/printcap on the client reads:
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE laserjet 300x300 a4 {} LaserJet Default 1
lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=printserver:\
:rp=lp:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter:
and on "printserver":
# lpc status lp
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
also on "printserver":
# netstat -a | grep printer
tcp 0 0 *:printer *:* LISTEN
unix 1 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 762 /dev/printer
/etc/printcap on "printserver" reads:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:
but this is just to show that I didn't get the queue names wrong :-)
What more has to be done?
Thanks
