Very Computer

Hi All,

"lpc stat" gives the following:

HPLJ4100|lj02:
        printer is on remote host aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd with name text
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

"lpc stat lj02" gives the following:

lj02:
        printer is on device '/dev/lp' speed -1
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

I copied the printcap over from another Alpha on the same network. I can
ping the "ccc" network.
Printing on the other Alpha works fine, and both have the same Tru64 V4.0f.

Any idea please!
Thanks.

Maybe hostname aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is not in /etc/hosts or resolvable
via DNS ?

DNS is not set up on this machine.
"aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" only refers to the IPaddress of the printer. I do not
refer to the printer's host ID.

My problem was solved.....thanks !!
I replaced the IP address with a hostname, and put an entry in hosts file.
I do not know why it did not recognize IP.

Thanks all.
