I'm running SuSE Linux zSLES7 in a LPAR of a z900 machine with Kernel 2.4.17.
I have tried to define a network printer to the BSD spooling system
and as a newbie with no success.
The printer, I have, is an LEXMARK Optra S1855 and I have tried the following
definition in /etc/printcap
remote|lp1|BH0D lp:\
:lp=:\
:rm=PRT00001.huk-domain.de:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/BH0D-lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/BH0D-lp/log:\
:af=/var/sppol/lpd/BH0D-lp/acct:\
:ar:bk:mx#0:\
:tr=:c1:sh:
The lpd daemon is up and running.
I put a job to the printer with
lpr -Premote /etc/fstab.
Doing a lpc status , I see the following:
remote:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
.
Also I did a PING to BH0D (the name of the Printer)
to see the full name of the printer it's PRT00001.huk-domain.de and
it's TCP/IP address.
It seems that something is missing.
The SuSE support says simply: "Define the remote printer with YAST".
Has anyone done similiar things or knows a HOWTO ?
Any suggestions appreciated.
N.B.
Or should I try CUPS or SAMBA.
