1. Remote printing problem: waiting for remote system to come up
I have successfully configured local printing and am now trying to do the
same for remote printing, i.e. from my Linux box to a remote printer
attached to a Sun workstation, but am experiencing problems.
My local printcap entry for the remote printer looks like this:
(with slight modification, i.e. the foo.bar is actually
something else)
# HP Laserjet 5mp (remote printer):
LaserJet5mp|hp|HP Laserjet 5mp: \
:lp=: \
:rm=foo.bar.umac.mo: \
:rp=LaserJet5mp: \
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/hp-lj5mp: \
:lf=/usr/spool/lpd/hp-lj5mp/errs: \
:mx#0: \
:sh:
Before printing something, I check the printer status (lpc status
LaserJet5mp), which is reported as follows:
LaserJet5mp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
Then I start a print job, like this:
lpr -PLaserJet5mp foobar.txt
Next the printer status is reported as follows:
LaserJet5mp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
waiting for foo.bar.umac.mo to come up
However, the machine is already up and the printer is ready. Furthermore,
I have a login account on the remote machine and since my local machine's
name is in the remote .rhosts file, I can rsh commands on the remote
machine (I don't know whether this is relevant for remote printing,
though).
Printing on the remote machine is already enabled in the /etc/lp/Systems
file.
What's wrong? Any help appreciated.
Robert.
