I thought I understood how to build my printcap but now I feel real
stupid. I want to spool all jobs through a linux machine called "a". I'm
sending jobs to jetdirect interfaces in hp printers from "a". On all
other machines, I want them to send jobs to "a" so in these client
machines the printcap looks like
lp:\
:sh:rm=a.asu.edu:rp=hp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:
then on the server machine "a" the printcap looks like
hp1:\
:su:rm=jetdirect.asu.edu:rp=hp:sd=/var/spool/hp1:
This seems to work. However, from any client machine when I do an
lpq
It wants to connect directly to the jetdirect interface, rather than
listing all the jobs on the server queue.
what am I doing wrong?
