Re: [expert] Setting up a remote printer - please help!
Are you saying that what I wrote below would not work with CUPS? If
so, I think it is a bad idea to have CUPS as the default (Of course,
just my opinion). One can always learn new things, and there may be
some good reasons for CUPS instead of LPD, but most unix sys-admins I
know (who have been doing this stuff for years with Solaris, BSD,
Linux, etc) know what I wrote below and would do it without thinking
too much. I think they would be annoyed to have to deal with CUPS as
a default. It might mean they would choose another Linux
distribution. Why make CUPS the default? Why not at least give
the installer the choice?

Re: [expert] Setting up a remote printer - please help!
Nice, under 7.1 with the LPD printing system this would work without any
problems, but on 7.2 we have CUPS by default, and not LPD. I had already
answered to the guy how to do it with CUPS. Short hint: how to do it
with CUPS one can read on

Re: [expert] Setting up a remote printer - please help!
Oi, Não é tal difícil, leia (It's not so difficult, read) http://www.mandrakeuser.org/hardware/hcups3.html#lpdsrv The name of the remote queue is the name of the queue (the printer) defined under LPD on the server. I think, but I am not sure, that you have to put your client into the server's hosts.lpd, too. Boa sorte (good luck), Till "Eduardo M. A. M.
