I've got this setup at work (although it's more complex there because I pipe my main printer output through two filters before sending it to the printer). I assume you have printing working fine on the Debian box? Then I think all you need to do on the Debian box is to add in the allowed hosts to /etc/lpd.hosts. On the AIX box, run smitty, then "print spooling", "add a print queue", "remote", "standard", then fill in the blanks: name of queue (what you want it called on the AIX box) hostname (debian box name) name of queue on remote server (lp normally - look in /etc/printcap) type of print spooler on remote server (BSD) description :-) Adrian Adrian Bridgett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Internal: 7-245528 External: 01962-815528 -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
