You probably don't want force_localhost@ on the server...just put that on the clients. Try "lpc printcap <printerqueue>" on a client and on the server...also verify there actually IS an /etc/lpd.conf file there on the server and on the client machines (and maybe attach a copy of each). -- ============================================================================ John Perkins | University of Wisconsin-Madison Associate Researcher | Department of Computer Science [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1210 W.
