What could be wrong in this situation? I have installed MDK 8.0 with the distribution original kernel. Remote printing works like a charm for us. We have a mixture of Mdk 7.2 servers and Mdk 8.0 clients with two network printers (but we spool each of them through our servers anyways) and one epson inkjet again spooled through a workstation. If you have a remote printer simply install it on one of your machines as a remote printer and then let that machine spool the traffic to that printer (or for that matter do that on all and have them fight for access fifo) then for printing you can simply use the local name (lpr -Pfac) would spool my job on one of our servers and then forward it to our network printer. My instance of cups knows about fac since the server broadcasts that info. Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J. Guelzow Assoc.

Since shadow likes to sleep a lot, I defined a queue on my machine which connects to that printer and calls it printer679, and another fellow made a queue which calls it printer6x.

Maybe you just missed it or you deemed it totally askew in its orientation. Yes, I, too, have a cups server providing print services to all my Linux workstation (windoze too but that a samba issue) What you need to know is not what mandrakesoft or I have running but what you must do to get your stuff running. So I will re-post earlier posting in the hopes that it helps you. As I said earlier, it is a beginning to the trouble-shooting you need to do. Do not give up the fight and let that machine whip you Okay, there are some things to check out. Did you edit your /etc/cups/client.conf, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and your /etc/cups/printers.conf files. Put a vi on those files, or any editor app you like, and you will see they need some setup, mostly the name of the server running the cups service. If you need to see what the printers.conf should look like, just let me know. This is usually the best place to start the troubleshooting drjung and drjung again... -- J.
