I had remote printing from my laptop to my workstation with printer working, when both ran slink. It also worked with my mailserver, and the mailserver and laptop have the same printcap file:
lp|hp690|hp690:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj:\ :rm=daria.sloterdijk.nl:\ :rp=lp:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sh: However, I upgrade my laptop to potato and now my laptop can't print anymore. The mailserver can, so I wonder what has changed. I use lprng. Any clues?
