It's probably a security problem...
Check /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny /etc/hosts.lpd
Also check permissions on the spool directories.
You should really add the "name" of the printer into /etc/hosts (with the IP
of course) and use the printname when setting up the printer via
Drakeconfig...
Also, the queue normally DOES need to be filled in. This is dependant upon
your interface or machine...
I.E. the HP Jetdirects use RAW and TEXT as their queue names, the former
being preferable...

Subject: [Cooker] Jet Direct Remote Printer
Today at work we configured a remote printer running on our intranet
within Mandrake 7.0 (Air)
All we did was
1. Run Drakeconfig
2. Create a remote printer
3. Accepted all default values
4. For hostname gave it an ip addr 192.168.1.8
5. Left Queue entry blank
The printer immediately started working fine....!!!!!
When I got home I have the exact same setup and IT DOES NOT WORK!!!
Only difference is the remote printer at home is 192.168.1.150
and I am running Mandrake 7.1 b3 (Hydrogen3)
Any takers......?????
Danny
