Subject: Need help on Network Printer
I recently baught a D-Link print server for my printer so I can print from
any computer over my network (Solaris, Linux, Winblows, etc) and set it up
just like the manual said to by editing the /etc/printcap to something
like:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=deskjet:\
:rp=lpt1:
which looks pretty good after reading the printing howto on linuxdoc, but
when I try to start lpc (lpc start lp) I get this:
lp:
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
I've used my packet sniffer to see if the linux box is actually trying to
connect to the print server, but see nothing and the hub doesn't show any
activity when I try to connect either. I was wondering if there is
something I'm not doing right or maybe I should use some other printing
software, but my print server uses lpd. My printer is an HP 895Cse and
the hostname of my printer is deskjet and the name of the port is lpt1.
Thanks for any help.
