Hi all!
I am losing it, I think.
Looked all over MUO and can't find it.
The situation:
1 linux machine, hostname p350.merlin. It has a working printer locally,
with /etc/printcap set up okay, queue is in /var/spool/lpd/lp.
Printtool nicely writes a testpage to the printer, all fine.
/etc/hosts.lpd has internet.merlin in it as a client that is allowed to
print here.
"lpc status" tells me that queueing and printing is enabled, no waiting
entries, but... no daemon available. Weird, since it is in the boot.
So I run lpd. Should be fine. Alas, another lpc status tells me there's no
daemon. HUH??
Next: 1 linux machine, hostname internet.merlin. Wants to print to the
printer on p350.merlin. I can't however figure out how to tell this thing
that the printer is on the other end of a network-cable.
I tell it through printtool that there is a remote machine, p350.merlin
and that the queue is at lp. It tells me that a connect is refused, and
that we're waiting for p350.merlin to enable queueing (must be the daemon
that keeps falling over).
What am I doing wrong/forgetting? In the setup of p350 LPD _is_
started. It is enabled in the boot sequence, I see the message "loading
LPD: [OK]" come by too.
It bugs me, since in an older setup (redhat 5) I had this working...
