I have a FBSD server/ router connected to a switch box off which is another FBSD computer and an HP4M plus printer (JetDirect nic). Using the "Handbook" LPD Simple Printer setup, I'm able to print from the server using commands: lptest 20 5 | lpr -PHP4M and lpr -Plpps file.ps So far so good. When I follow the instructions to print from the other FBSD computer to this remote printer, I get nothing.
The /etc/printcap on the server is: # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # $FreeBSD: src/etc/printcap,v 1.14 2004/06/06 11:46:27 schweikh Exp $ # # lp|HP4M|local line printer:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ :rm=HP4M:\ :rp=text:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp lpps|HP4M|local line printer:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ :rm=NPI1E4DCE.dwebman.com:\ :rp=raw: The /etc/printcap on the other FBSD computer is: # @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90 # $FreeBSD: src/etc/printcap,v 1.14 2004/06/06 11:46:27 schweikh Exp $ HP4M|hp|printer:\ :lp=:rm=gateway:rp=HP4M:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp: Any help would be greqtly appreciated.
