Linux print client with *Linux* print server

Linux print client with *Linux* print server

Post by John Chamberlai » Wed, 13 Sep 1995 04:00:00



I'm having a similar problem with a Linux print client and a
Linux print server---my /etc/printcap on the client is set up
properly (e.g.:

lp:lp=:rm=remote.prnt.svr.dom:lp=rp  )

and the hosts.lpd file is complete (I set up both the client
and server with all relevant IPs and domains, using the
standard hosts file format (it shouldn't be the hosts.equiv
format, should it?)).  And, yet, I still get the following:

remote.prnt.svr.dom: usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Your host does not have
line printer access

Thanks in advance!

If you got this from printcap, there's the error: it should be rp=lp.
If not, have you tried killing and restarting lpd on the remote
machine?

You just have to add the names to /etc/hosts.lpd, no ip addresses.

1. Linux print client & SCO Unix print server

Hello!

I have configured a Linux system as a print client and
a SCO Unix system as a print server, but when I try to
submit a print job from Linux it doesn't work.

When I type "# lpd -Pprintername" on Linux I get the
following answer: "/usr/lib/lpd: Host name for your
address (192.168.0.0) unknown".

Any ideas ? Please, e-mail if you know anything about it.

Thanks.
