Hi, I'm installing a new print server using SuSE Linux 8.1 and LPRng that came with that distribution. Adding LPRng to the system was no problem, configuring a couple of printers went quite well. However, I cannot print from a remote computer to that server:
$ lpq -P ps@lpdx Printer 'ps@lpdx' - cannot open connection - Connection refused Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol and accepts connections from this host and from non-privileged (>1023) ports When I add a line to /etc/inetd.conf such as printer stream tcp nowait daemon /bin/date then $ lpq -P ps@lpdx will return Fri Jan 31 20:12:42 CET 2003 I tried to understand the LPRng-Howto but could not find how lpd connects to the printer port or what else is wrong in my configuration. Btw, LPRng version is 3.8.12 if that matters.
