Phil,
Edit the file /etc/lpd.perms on each machine used for network printing. Near the bottom of the file comment out the REJECT SERVICE statment like this:
# REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER

Hi All, I can't printover the network. When I submit a print job I get the following error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
/home/phil/3465317ExtremePerformanceTuning.pdf
Status Information: sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to '192.168.1.4', attempt 1 cannot open connection to 192.168.1.4 - Connection timed out Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
But I can ping 192.168.1.4 to which the remote
printer is connected from 192.168.1.2 which is submitting the print job.
Is the problem in the print queues for either
machine?
The submitting maching, 192.168.1.2 has the
following parameters in the print queue:
lp:\ :ml#0:\ :mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\ :sh:\ :rm=192.168.1.4:\ :rp=lp:\ :bk:\
:control_filter=/usr/share/printconf/util/strip_control_file.sh:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\ :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
And the /etc/printcap for the machine 192.168.1.4
with the local printer attached is:
lp:\ :ml#0:\ :mx#0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :lpd_bounce=true:\ :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
and the machine with the local printer, 192.168.1.4
has a hosts.lpd file that contains:
hardwoodthunder.OBJECTPOWER
192.168.1.2
They are the IP address and the name of the submitting machine.
What am I missing? Thanks, Phil Campaigne

Ken,
Thanks for your reply. I checked and found that your recommended entry was already in the lpd.perms file on the print serving machiner but not on the remote machine submitting the print request. I added the following entry into that machine to match the print server entry:
# allow local job submissions only #REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER
The bad news is that I still get the same error, Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - Connection timed out
when I submit the following command line print request from 192.168.1.2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- home/phil/3465317ExtremePerformanceTuning.pdf
Any other ideas? Thanks, Phil Campaigne
