Re: remote printing permissions [solved]
To solve my problem of remote printing, it was very simple (once I found out what I was doing). Edit the /etc/lpd.perms so that it allows remote print job requests: Find these following lines in the file: # reject remote prints from arbitrary hosts REJECT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER Replace them with the following lines: # accept remote prints from arbitrary hosts ACCEPT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER Most importantly of all you need to re-run the printer spooler. If you have lprng installed (instead of lpr) then you have to do the following: /etc/init.d/lprng restart You may also have to do: /etc/init.d/lpd restart and then everything should be working... It is not needed to edit /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv Hope this helps you all out. John.

I'm still getting the connect errors. Here is the exact error: no connect permissions job tranfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed This error came from netscape. I tried to print from xemacs, but nothing came out. I can't find an error in any of the logs I looked at, but I'm not overly sure where that kind of error would be logged. Anyway, does lprng work differently from lpd in the lpr package? Or is there something that I"m missing here? Thanks, Chris P.S.

Re: remote printing permissions
You can use individual IP addresses -- Mine is 130.108.229.31 130.108.229.32 You can also use something like 130.108.229 to indicate that an entire subnet has access. The general format is something similar, but not identical to hosts.allow/hosts.deny. Other than that, there really isn't all that much. Be sure and restart lpd after editing this file... In /etc/init.d do a ./lpd restart Without doing this, your changes will not take effect until the machine is rebooted.

Re: remote printing permissions
Take a look at /etc/hosts.lpd On Sun, 14 Mar 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > What file do I need to modify to allow remote printing on a linux box? > Right now when I try to print, I get a no connect permission error. > > TIA > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >
remote printing permissions
What file do I need to modify to allow remote printing on a linux box? Right now when I try to print, I get a no connect permission error. TIA
