[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printing Problem in 5.2 Solved!

For everyone's info, the problem described below has been solved with the kind and knowledgeable help of Herr Klaus Wagner (franken.de). The lpd is a network oriented daemon, and needs a resolvable localhost name. Correcting /etc/hosts to read 127.0.0.1 localhost BeagleDog ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ olved the problem instantly.

When I try to print either ASCII or PS via the installed APSfilter, I get the message "getport: Unknown host 'BeagleDog' " BeagleDog is my machine name in /etc/HOSTNAME. Using a new and simplified printcap without the APSfilter gives the same results. --
