Hi,
I have R.H 7.1 box and would like to connect to (Lexmark Optra) LAN printer (IP address: 139.21.45.2). I used printtool and configured as UNIX Printer (lpd Queue) and enter Server:139.21.45.2

When I test print, the error messages Get_local_host: hostname 'hostname' bad appeared.
What did I configure wrongly ?

Thanks.

Is it possible to see the excerpt of the /etc/printcap file, to see how the
definition appears ?

See ya

do you have a line in your /etc./hosts file that looks like
127.0.0.1 localhost "your domain name"
