Hi Paula,[..]
This stuff all works on the lpd site of the connection and works just perfect (if I modify the /etc/hosts.x files as mentioned above). But as soon as I uncomment in /etc/hosts.deny the following line (which was set there by suse and is btw quite useful as I would like to restrict printing to my localhost)
lpd: ALL EXCEPT LOCAL
Well, perhaps you like to to forget the old hosts.deny/hosts.allow stuff and try the nice lpd.perms features. :-) (should reside in /etc/lpd.perms oder /etc/lprng/lpd.perms) It gives you a quite fine-tunable possibility to control your printer access.
