I have set up a printer on a Debian Linux box and I have a tough time
getting it to accept jobs from other machines. lpr seems to work fine but
lpq shows that the job did not go through because I have no line printer
access.
This is the etc/printcap on machine 1
raw2|com5p:\
:lp=:\
:rm=machine.away:\
:rp=lp3:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dpl:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/dpl/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/dpl/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
Now on machine machine.away I have added (in /etc/hosts.equiv) my machine
that I am trying to
print from
+machine.where.iam myname
I cannot see the format of /etc/hosts.lpd in any manual or documentation.
I assume its just the machine address.
Anyway anyone printing remotely? What am I missing?
lpq says:
com5: /usr/sbin/lpd: raw: Your host does not have line printer access
Please help,
