HI, I haven't had much luck getting questions answered lately, maybe my luck will change on Thanksgiving.
I have an HP1100 printer that I set up on machine "moe" with apsfilter, and is working perfectly. I have a hard copy of the Handbook that I went by, and I have Googled with no joy. I'm trying to setup machine "larry" to print text only to the printer on "moe", but I'm not getting anywhere. Jobs get into the local spool, but time out waiting on the remote machine to "come up". I can ping the remote machine with no difficulty. I have the following in /etc/hosts.lpd: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/hosts.lpd # $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.lpd,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:42 peter Exp $ # # See lpd(8) #machine.domain larry.howse.homeunix.net Here's moe's /etc/printcap: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL hp1100|ljet4;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/acct:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: # APS1_END - don't delete this Here's larry's /etc/printcap: lp|hp1100:\ :lp=:rm=moe:rp=hp1100:sd=/var/spool/output/moe:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: Here's a sample print session on larry: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lpr /etc/rc.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lpq larry.howse.homeunix.net: waiting for moe to come up Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st root 9 /etc/rc.conf 926 bytes connection to moe is down -- Thanks, Charles http://howse.homeunix.net:8080 Random Murphy's Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
