If you're sure that lpd is actually running on lpdx, the next place to
look is /etc/lpd.perms.

Subject: LPRng: Cannot print to a remote LPRng
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.
Norbert
