I have the printers working on the server, ie I can print from the machine attached to the printers, and working on a windoz box via samba. But I still can't print from my workstation. I have loaded the updated lprold and am currently running the lprold from 6.2. here is the error message: root@workstation:/etc > lpc status lj: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area waiting for queue to be enabled on xxx.xx.xxx.xx cp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries printer idle Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably an obvious question, but *is* the queue enabled on the remote computer (it probably is, since you can print from these other computers). Does anyone know if there's a separate printer entry for printing across the network or if there's a configuration file somewhere that deals with access control for printers? One final thought (one of my usual...): could a firewall be blocking communication between the client and the print server, leading the client to think the queue was offline?

Hope you get it sorted, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Place an entry in /etc/hosts.lpd on the printer server for your Workstation. THere is another file in /etc but can't remember its name associated with allowing or denying printing. Unfortunately I'm not at work where I have this setup. Hope this helps, Graham Smith
