by I have set up a printer on my primary FreeBSD host, inserted the
appropriate entries in my /etc/printcap file, created the spooling
directory, and all that. It works fine as a local printer. The relevant
entry in printcap is:
sj48|SJ48|lp|Starjet SJ-48 Inkjet printer:\
:sh:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/sj48:\
:pw=80:pl=66:
The last line appears superfluous, but I tried it in my effort to
activate remote printing to this printer.
The main computer is named odin, and is internally accessible by that
name. Now, in a second computer, heimdall, I have the /etc/printcap
entry:
sj48|SJ48|lp|Starjet SJ-48 Inkjet printer:\
:sh:lp=:sd=/var/spool/sj48:\
:rm=odin:rp=sj48:
I have three files sitting in heimdall's spool directory, and a status
file that says:
waiting for queue to be enabled on odin.
the lpq command lists three jobs, and then gives the message:
lpd: your host does not have line printer access.
Obviously I have missed something in this installation, but what? I've
been avidly scanning the handbook with lynx, so I can do it locally, but
I can't seem to find the missing link.
Ideas, anyone? Pleeease?
Thanks much,
Ken
