I'm trying to share a printer with another linux box. I used apsfilter
to set up the box that has the printer and it works fine when I test it.
like so:
echo "shitty printer!!!" lpr
I then went to the printerless machine and tried to get it to work by
using apsfilter again. When I use the same test. the job gets spooled
but that's the end of it. Here's the output of "lpc"
lpc>status
queueing is enabled
printing is enabled
11 enteries in the spooling area (my tests I'd assume)
waiting for queue to be enabled on olddog.mac (the computer with the
printer)
lpc>
I have entered my host's name in:
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.lpd
/etc/hosts.equiv
and have chmod /dev/lp0 to 771
/etc/printcap looks like this:
for 'olddog' (with the printer)
lp:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool.lpd:sh:
for coyote:
well it's quite long
anyway all I get when I test is 'no daemon present'
'job is queued' etc...
TIA
Shane
