[SLUG] Printing problem on small home network

2001-02-25 Thread Ken Caldwell

I have a small home network of three computers.
longwing (running SuSE 6.4), adler (running Debian-unstable) and
superchook (running Debian 1.3.1).
There is a printer on longwing and I can print from this machine ok.  If
I try to print from adler I get the following:

ken@adler:~$ lpr packages.txt
ken@adler:~$ lpq
adler: waiting for queue to be enabled on longwing.myplace
Rank   Owner  Job  Files Total Size
1stken2packages.txt  36178 bytes

longwing: /usr/sbin/lpd: raw: Your host does not have line printer
access
ken@adler:~$

What do I have to do to enable the queue?  Am I right in thinking that
the problem is on longwing?  I can ftp files between the machines in
both directions.

/etc/printcap on adler is as follows

lp|Remote printer entry:\
 :lp=:\
 :rm=longwing.myplace:\
 :rp=lp:\
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
 :mx#0:\
 :sh:

adler is listed in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.equiv and 
/etc/hosts.lpd on longwing.

cluesticks anyone?

regards,

ken

I think what you want to do is add "adler" to /etc/hosts.lpd.
