I am attempting to allow a remote UNIX (non-Linux) to print to my local printer with mixed success. I have been able to configure the remote UNIX box to send me print requests. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp1' , the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp2' or 'lp', the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out either. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp3' , the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-raw' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out either. I have reconfigured '/etc/inetd.conf' to allow tcp connection on port 515 for printing. Line in '/etc/inetd.conf': ======================================================================== printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/lpd -i ======================================================================== Verified port 515 is properly configured for printing in '/etc/services'. Line in '/etc/services' ======================================================================== printer 515/tcp spooler # line printer spooler ======================================================================== Verified that tcp is configured in '/etc/protocols'. Line in '/etc/protocols': ======================================================================== tcp 6 TCP # transmission control protocol ======================================================================== Verified that '/etc/hosts.lpd' file had an entry allowing print requests from the remote UNIX system. Line in '/etc/hosts.lpg': ======================================================================== hpcvsjpg.cv.hp.com ======================================================================== I stopped and restarted inetd after all configuration done. Here is the contents of my '/etc/printercap' file: ======================================================================== ### BEGIN apsfilter: ### PS_300dpi letter mono 300 ### # Warning: Configured for apsfilter, do not edit the labels! # apsfilter setup Thu Nov 5 21:02:57 PST 1998 # ascii|lp1|PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300|PS_300dpi letter ascii mono 300:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :sh:sf: # lp|lp2|PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300|PS_300dpi letter auto mono 300:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :sh:sf: # raw|lp3|PS_300dpi-letter-raw|PS_300dpi letter raw:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-raw:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-raw/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-raw/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/PS_300dpi-letter-raw:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :sh:sf: # ### END apsfilter: ### PS_300dpi letter mono 300 ### ======================================================================== Any ideas?? jpg@cv.hp.com - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
