Hello List I still have no idea how to enable access to my local printer from a remote host (in my local network) These are the files I consider important:
Server-printcap: lp|lq850|Epson LQ 850:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lq850:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/epsonlq-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Client-printcap: lp|lq850|Epson LQ 850:\ :lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lq850:rm=199.168.0.98:rp=lp:lpr_bounce:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/epsonlq-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Server /etc/hosts.lpd: +<ip.adress.one.client> +<ip.adress.other.client> Server /etc/hosts.equiv: +<ip.adress.one.client> +<ip.adress.other.client> This does not seem to be enough, because the client prints the error message: "This host has no line printer access" or sth like that. Anybody help me please.. joerg PS:: I was pointed to the /etc/hosts.lpd file by Shawn Garbett, thank you even if it did not help. -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
