Hiya - a follow up on my LPR headaches... I have just installed a new
RH 6.2 based system as we're setting up a new server - and I have
managed to get this printing absolutely perfectly well as expected.
So - I'm 100% certain that the problem is to do with the
configuration of the old servers...
Anyway - I copied the /etc/printcap file from the new server to the
old one, and the /var/spool/lpr/lp/filter too... and restarted lpd,
and tried printing again and still no joy. I don't get it - the
setups appear to be exactly the same on the two servers... but I'm
still not able to print on the old servers.
Can someone enlighten me as to exactly what packages are required for
successful printing to a postscript printer via lpr - AFAIK I have
everything set up right - I'm using these:
lpr-0.50-4
printtool-3.44-1
rhs-printfilters-1.63-1
I'd also love to get a definitive list of which files I need to be
editing to configure lpd properly...
the only one I'm aware of so far in our setup is:
/etc/printcap
hmm... hoping someone can send me some enlightening advice... where
should I be going from here to get lpr working again?
TIA - dan.
