Thanks a lot to John F. Blyberg, Ray Olszewski and John Rogers for their suggestions about my printing problem. It was finally John Rogers the one that hit the target: >I would suggest your remote printer queue is wrong. > the entry -Remote queue: lp (raw doesn't work either) > many printers will (have) a specfic entry for this (and it is case sensitive). The right remote queue name is PORT1 and it's case sensitive. Just changing that and doing a lpd restart makes it work. -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone: I've got a problem with a printer that I'm supposed to be using. This printer is connected to my PC through a LAN and I'm not able to configure my Linux to print through it. The printer works just fine from other PC's in the same LAN that have Windows running. I don't think it's a network problem because I've got perfect access to the LAN and the rest of Internet. The printer is not directly connected to any computer but to the LAN. This thing has its own ip address (to which I can ping normally). The printer is supposed to 'understand' PostScript documents whether they come from Windows or Linux and it manages its own printing queue (maybe it's got something similar to Samba in it, I don't know). The only thing I know is that I can see documents waiting to be printing and stuck locally (lpq says that it's sending the documents to the correct ip address but nothing else...) Thanks a lot to Dave Mielke and Tony Nugent but their suggestions didn't work... Details: -My Linux is Mandrake 6.1 (RedHat compatible) -The printer is a DANKA/INFOTEC 4352 MF. This model doesn't appear listed on the available printer models list of the control-panel, so I have chosen a generic Postscript printer (someone told this should work) Control-panel printer configuration: -Names: lp -Spool Directory: /var/spool/lpd/lp -File Limit (0=no limit): 0 -Remote Host: IP address of the printer -Remote queue: lp (raw doesn't work either) -Input Filter: *auto*-PostScript If anyone has any idea... Thanx a lot. Later. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
