Hey people. I need some help getting remote printing to work. I have a
print server with a local printer attached. I used magicfilter and now it
works great. Now, I'd like to be able to use lpr to remotely print to it like
I do at work.
My local /etc/printcap is
lp|Remote printer entry:\
:lp=:\
:rm=jumpgate:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
The print server is jumpgate, and it's printer is named lp. I have a
/etc/hosts.lpd file on the print server containing the hostname of my client.
However, when I print, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] msoulier]$ lpr mail.out
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
I've checked, the the lpd daemon is running on both machines.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Mike
