Look at this (moe is the print-server, listening on port 515): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515 Trying 192.168.254.4... Connected to moe. Escape character is '^]'. lpd [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Print-services are not available to your host (larry). Connection closed by foreign host.
So what's my exact hostname? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ hostname larry.local Then I ssh to moe, then I add: larry larry.local to /etc/hosts.lpd and to /etc/hosts.equiv Now... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515 Trying 192.168.254.4... Connected to moe. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. Looks like print services are available now, but... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ lpc status all [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ And printing from the Mac still gets a 'busy signal'. Can I issue a command to print something from a telnet session? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ telnet moe 515 Trying 192.168.254.4... Connected to moe. Escape character is '^]'. lpr /etc/printcap moe.local: lpd: Illegal service request Connection closed by foreign host.
