remote printing still a problem

[Hidong Kim]

Hi,

I'm completely unable to print over my network.  I have three Linux
machines, ripley, weaver, jonesy, running Red Hat 6.0.  ripley has an
Epson Stylus Color 800 printer.  I can print fine from ripley.  I
configured remote printing on weaver and jonesy using printtool.  But
when I try to print from weaver or jonesy, the job just sits on the
queue without printing.  lpq on these remote machines, weaver in this
example, shows the error message:

weaver.emeraldbiostructures.com: waiting for queue to be enabled on
ripley

ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com: lpd: lp: Your host does not have line
printer access

I have all machines listed in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv,
/etc/hosts.lpd.  /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/hosts.lpd are identical and
look like this:

192.168.1.11    weaver.emeraldbiostructures.com weaver
192.168.1.12    ripley.emeraldbiostructures.com ripley
192.168.1.13    jonesy.emeraldbiostructures.com jonesy


Here's ripley's /etc/printcap:

#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are
doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict
format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.


##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL uniprint NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor

Here's weaver's printcap:

# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict

# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.

##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE uniprint NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor
stc800pl 1
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :rm=ripley:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:


I've even installed the latest lpr-0.47-1 rpm.  What am I overlooking? 
How do I enable network printing?  Thanks,



Hidong
