Post the printcap. You may need: # force clients to send to remote server lp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:force_localhost@ # this entry, on the print server system, sends to the # remote printer lp:server:lp=real.printer.destination :sd=... :filter=... (or :if=....) This forces all clients to send requests to the server host, rather than to the printer. If you want to run an LPD server on all client systems, change this to: # force clients to send to localhost and local LPD server # to remote server lp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:force_localhost :sd=.... # this can be added so that only the LPD server that does # the actual connection to the printer will see it: lp:oh=server.ip.address.or.dns.name:lp=real.printer.destination :sd=... :filter=... (or :if=....) The mind boggles at the number of permutations...
