Hi list! Got a little problem with remote printing from linux to linux!
First the environment: Printserver named pt1, SuSE8.2, lprng3.8.12 Printclient named pt5, SuSE8.0, lprng3.8.12, no printcap no firewall in between, but different subnet I've added in client's lpd.conf the line default_remote_host=pt1 Both machines have lpd running; if i trigger "lpc status hp2250sys" on the client, it shows me (correctly) that the client looks on pt1 for hp2250sys - printer but same time i receive following error: Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - Connection refused Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol Doing a printjob: echo test | lp -dhp2250sys --> lp: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable I think that I have to modify lpd.conf and lpd.perms on the server (printing there goes well) and I tried a couple of things unfortunately without success. What I'm expecting to do is to fully control printers via client minimum to watch for status (lpc status xxx, lpc status all) and of course to print. Couldn't find any hints in the existing list, perhaps you can help me. thx stg ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content by MailMarshal For more information please visit www.marshalsoftware.com ##################################################################################### ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
