Hi,
I am trying to set up my printcap to print on to a laser printer
connected to another machine. My /etc/printcap is as follows:
#Local haralu.xrdlab.mysore
lp|ex1000:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ex1000:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/epsonlq-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
#Remote
laser|lj|hplj4mp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj4mp:\
:rm=vayu.xrdlab.mysore:\
:rp=hplj4mp:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
On the machine vayu.xrdlab.mysore, my /etc/host.lpd has an entry
haralu.xrdlab.mysore.
On haralu, if I give a command
lpr -Plaser test.ps
I get the following message:
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
lpq shows 'no entries' on both the machines. If it is of any help, I
can ping the machines and telnet between them. Any pointers would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
sridhar
