Hi, Thanks for your reply. I do know how to do it this way, but I'd really like an alternative where I don't have to run lpd and have spool directories on all the clients.
This did used to work, although that was a while ago under 3.6.12. Looking through the CHANGES file, I can't see anything obvious that would affect this, although I might have missed something. Can anyone offer any further advice? Cheers Toby > There are various ways of doing this. > On my setup, I have a print queue on both the client and the server.
