Can you telnet to port TCP:515 from Linux? (I think that is the port LPD listens on)
The Standard TCP Printing driver with W2K prints to port 9100 by default (SPM Printing) Do you have to enable LPR/LPD support with the Laserjet/Jetdirect? First? Jp I am trying to print directly to a HP Laserjet 2100N using lpr/lpd but it is not working. The frustrating thing is that it works fine from a Win2K box using lpr. Any ideas would be much appreciated. This is my /etc/printcap lp|HPLJ2100:\ :rm=192.168.69.39:\ :rp=raw:\ :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp: and when I try to print I get this: # lpr -Plp bla.txt lpr: connect: Connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. # lpq waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
