No, the server is not able to resolve the client hostname. However, I
haven't seen any error messages on the server, just on the client. As most
workstation addresses (static ips reserved for servers only) are
dynamically allocated on this campus from one dhcp server, the possible
addresses would be quite large. I would have to use the domain name,
.lamar.edu. I have tried adding .lamar.edu, *.lamar.edu, 140.158., and
140.158.*.* to /etc/hosts.lpd with no success. Further, documentation on
/etc/hosts.lpd is scarce. Am I doing this correctly?
