Hello. I have a Debian linux box which runs LPRng version 3.8.27 as its printer spooler. It functions as a firewall/router for a home network.
I set up /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/lprng/lpd.perms so that this box will handle print-requests from the laptops that are also part of the home network (the printer is an HP LJ1100 connected to the parallel port of the Debian box). This all works great from my own laptop, which also runs Debian (and has the same version of LPRng). But there is also an OS X laptop in the house, and print requests from that machine are refused. The resulting message in /var/log/lpr.log is: Service_connection: short request line '^B', from '192.168.1.101 port 836' I haven't had much luck so far in tracking down what this error message means or what lies behind it, though I assume that whatever lies behind it is what is causing print-requests from the OS X machine to be refused. Does anyone know how this problem might be solved? I'd be very grateful indeed for any help or pointers.
