Hi All,
I'm trying to test kerberos/lprng interaction, but before I can do
that I need to have a simple client/server setup.
Basically what I have is:
host1 running lpd with printer 'lp' set up (all is fine here)
host2 not running lpd, printing to remote queue on host1 via printcap
entry:
lp:
:lp=lp@host1:client
This doesn't work at all however:
[host2]toby: lpq -Plp
Printer 'lp@localhost' - cannot open connection - Connection refused
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
[host2]toby:
Doing lpq -Plp@host1 is OK.
... although what I'm trying to do does work OK under an old version
of LPRng (3.6.12).
However, if I include the :direct keyword on the client-side printcap
entry, I can print to the remote queue OK, although I get no feedback:
[host2]toby: lpq -Plp
Printer: lp - direct connection to device 'lp'
[host2]toby:
So, this (and the parts in the HOWTO relating to :direct) suggests to
me that I'm not doing this the correct way - is this the case?
If so, what is the correct way to use print clients to a remotely
hosted printer?
I can't help thinking that I must be missing something blindingly
obvious, but really have no idea what it could be. Any help
gratefully received.
Thanks
