Dear LPRng Gurus, I understand that LPRng's lpr (as distributed on RedHat 7.x) should be able to send jobs directly to a remote server without needing lpd running locally.
It works with lpr -Pprlm@print file and with export PRINTER='prlm@print' lpr file Should it work for lpr -Pprlm file with prlm defined as a remote queue in printcap? I always get this: Status Information: sending job 'glen@haiku+764' to prlm@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused Make sure LPD server is running on the server I thought that lpr read the printcap file too, (ls -lu /etc/printcap in fact shows that it does) but it seems to just send it to the LPD port on localhost anyway.
