hello all,
I have looked at the FAQ and the documentation and can't seem tofind
what I want to do.
I know that you can set LPDEST or use the -P option to print directly to
another LPR spool.
I am trying to set up something similar in the printcap file.
I want to have about 50 printers available from different linux
machines.
my question is: can i have the printer name be "printer" instead of
"printer@host" and must I use a spool directory for each printer/
I have tried the following line in printcap:
lp:\
:lp=printer@host:
but it complains about there not being a spool directory. i can put
":client:" in the entry but then the printer doesn't exist after
restarting lprng
i just want a printqueue that automatically forwards to another lpd
spool without any filters, do I have to use a spool directory in this
case?
Sincerely,
Jason Edgecombe
