Have a look at /etc/lprng/lpd.perms Du you have a line in it like: REJECT NOT SERVER Hans On Sat, May 04, 2002 at 11:38:24AM +0100, Keith O'Connell wrote: Hi, I have 3 machines here all running Woody and a HP Deskjet attached to one of them.

Are we making progress here? Well, it's a good default, but it prevents you from doing what you're trying to do! It basically restricts all printing to the localhost. You probably should add something like this: REJECT NOT REMOTEIP=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 Where 192.168.0.0 is replaced with the real address range that you want to be able to print from, and the netmask is appropriate for it. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html pgpsCemorpY7e.pgp Description: PGP signature
