[CentOS] LPR to windows lpd question
Hi All, I am trying to print from a CentOS 5.3 server to a windows LPD service. After enabling the LPD service on Windows and creating a LPR port to a particular printer when I execute the following command on CentOS server I do not come out. lpr -H winprint:515 -P printer1 file.txt The above command does not exit. Do I need to configure anything on the server to be able to use lpr as a client ? Ultimately I want to use the above command to print to various printers based on different parameters. On a different note when I execute the same command on Fedora 14 I get Unknown as the error. Thanks Tharun ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The whole idea I am trying to achieve is not to install any printers on the server (if I can avoid) but use it as a client to print through a windows LPD service. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
