I am using lprng 3.8.5 that comes with SUSE 8.0 to print. I set things up in YAST2 and while it works it prints directly to the lpd daemon on the remote printer. I think this is because SUSE 8.0 by default sets force_localhost parameter to false in the printcap file as follows :- remote:\ :cm=lpdfilter method=raw color=yes:\ :lp=raw@xxx.xxx.xx.xx:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/remote/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/remote/acct:\ :ar:force_localhost@:\ :tr=:cl:sh: If I edit this to remove the @ then spooling should be enabled (as verified by doing a checkpc -V -Premote). However if I do a lpq -Premote I get an error :- Printer: remote is raw@localhost Printer: raw@arguus - ERROR: spool queue for 'raw' does not exist on server arguus.crg.co.nz non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' Looking through the lprng archives I can see some comment that others using a similar version of lprng have experienced a similar problem and upgrading to a later version has fixed this for some. Does anybody have a later SUSE specific RPM I can use? I have downloaded some RPM's from www.lprng.org but these have a number of dependencies and didn't work for me :( David
