Dear Cygwinnies
I am trying to install LPRng program in Cygwin-Xfree under Windows NT. It is not an easy task but I understand that the complexity of Microsoft Windows does not help. I followed most of the indications to have LPRng installed but I was stopped by the owner rules when I tried checkpc in order to get the corrrect seteuid I got the following SYSTEM @MICRO /usr/local/sbin/checkpc -V -f micro seteuid_wrapper: seteuid() failed !! Not owner micro is the name of the machine I need to print from micro on a remote postscript machine which is shared and available on micro I compiled LPRng as indicated after installation all commands are set to Admin and group none. I have in /etc/passwd and /etc/group the two following lines respectively daemon:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1:1:U-MICRO\daemon,S-1-5-21-1711220169-380859561-925700815-1001:/home/daemon:/bin/bash daemon:S-1-5-32-545:1 When I configure LPRng with the various uid possibilities. I always end with files belonging to Administ and group none. If I do lpstat I get Printer 'HPLaserJ@localhost' -cannot open connection - Connection refused Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol. and accepts connections from this port and from nonprivileged port . I can print from MICRO on this remote printer. under Windows NT I would appreciate some help to circumvent the system problem and be able to print from a cygwin-Xfree window. I installed Ghostscript and Ghostview as they both have printing possibilities. These 2 programs are running fine but without printing Best regards Yours Bernard
