Before I get into my problem, I'd like to thank Patrick for creating such a robust printing system with -excellent- and incredibly extensive/in-depth documentation covering it. Thanks to the LPRng HOWTO, configuration has been a snap. I wasn't surprised to see his name as the author on the Samba printing docs. =)
That said, here's what's up: I may have missed this in the documentation, but for some reason, I can't get the printer queue of a remote printer using SysV or BSD lpq (it may not even work with LPRng lpq, I haven't installed LPRng on any of the workstations yet). All that lpq returns is: >lpq lj101@shake 0 jobs Currently, the clients are running Solaris 8 SysV printing. /etc/printers.conf points them at BSD printing on a SunOS 4.1.4 machine running BSD printing (a SysV print server did not seem like a very fun idea). /etc/printcap on that machine points them to the new LPRng print server on another Solaris 8 machine. lpq on the SysV clients AND the BSD server returns the above output. If I point a client machine directly at the LPRng server (bypassing the BSD server) I still get the above output. In the interest of not having a busted printer installation mid-semester, we're waiting until at least the winter break to install LPRng clients on the client machines (same reason jobs get forwarded twice). Did I miss a config option?
