hi all,
i'm totally new to lprng, and am finding the volume of documentation
difficult to deal with. i'm trying to do something very basic:
satan (192.168.0.2): has an hp laserjet6mp and standard lpd
navalle (192.168.0.3): would like to use the above printer and runs lprng
printcap on navalle reads:
lp
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:sh
:mx=0
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct
:ml=0
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
:cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter
:
when i try to print from navalle, i get the message:
navalle:~# lpr testmsg
navalle:~# lpq

satan: lpd: Your host does not have line printer access
on satan, i created an /etc/hosts.lpd with the contents "192.168.0.3".
ipchains on satan is empty.
i'm completely stumped. can someone please help?
thanks!
pete
