Hi, Philippe, I don't think I'm using DNS on that machine. How could I check if I am? We have just a small network of three Linux Red Hat 6.0 machines, and a few Windows machines. All of the hosts are in /etc/hosts, like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 192.168.1.

Some additional information for this problem. I have checked that the remote server is accepting remote lp requests, al the host files and permissions for remote lp are correct. Also, this was working, and suddenly stopped. I am not sure why. I am using RH6.0 and have not installed any updates..
