I have lp:remote_support=R set, and this does prevent the lpq queries to
the terminal server, but how can I get it to look at the local queue on
the Linux box when I do the lpq after it sees that the remote doesn't
support the lpq, ie /var/spool/lpd/printer_name, which is where the jobs
will actually be queued at anyway since forced-local is on ?
You need to allow clients to get all the informaiton, but the server
only to use 'lpr':
lp:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:force_localhost@
lp:. (i.e. - the existing/standard printcap entry)
:server:remote_support=R
Thanks,
Dwayne

Hi Patrick,
I am running running Redhat Linux 8, with LPRng and have a question.
All of the printers are hung off a terminal server with serial ports,
and it has a built in lpd. So all of the printers in the printcap
file
have a :rm and :rp entries. My problem is the terminal server lpd
does/will not respond to lpq, lpstat requests, therefore I want the
queues, stats to come from the Redhat box, not the terminal server. I
read an very old email from the LPRng list where you had mentioned a
server printcap flag that only lpd would read, which I thought would
work, but I don't think I understand how to put it in printcap.local.
When I added it to an already defined printer that is in printcap and
restarted lpd, it griped about overlapping entries, rp and lp. Any
suggestions ?
Thanks,
Dwayne Pence
You want to use the 'remote_support' option to prevent the
lpq, etc. queries. The option has the format:
remote_support=RMQVC
Where R= lpr, M = lprm, Q = lpq, V =lpc -v , C = lpc
If you only want to use LPR then you can set:
lp:remote_support=R
