I have 2 linux boxes, both on a "localdomain" or local area network
(localhost1 and localhost2). Trying to print from localhost2 to
localhost1. localhost1 has a fully functioning printer attached!
If i print from localhost2 to localhost1 using smb when localhost1 is
running win98 o/s, i think it has periodically worked, but am not too
worried about this since i usually spend more time in linux. (win98 is
for games, lol)
Below is what the DrakConf > printtool configured to do. My printer
quene on localhost1 is at defaults, just clicked enter when configuring
the names for it in DrakConf on localhost1.
##This is my localhost2 /etc/printcap file
##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE ljet2p 300x300 letter {} LaserJet2p Default 1
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=localhost1:\
:rp=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
##This is localhost1 /etc/printcap file!
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet2p 300x300 letter {} LaserJet2p Default 1

ERROR MESSAGE WHEN using DrakConf to setup the remote printer:
Test page(s) have been sent to the printer daemon.
This may take a little time before printer start.
Printing status:
localhost2: waiting for queue to be enabled on localhost1
localhost1: lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access
In theory, this should work w/o a problem when printing from
linux-linux.....same distro's, versions, etc. btw: the localdomain is
set on a ethernetwork which is fully functional
