The setup that I am using now is changed from what I was using in
February. Adler is my main box and it has a printer attached. I can
print files from the other boxes on this printer. Attached are the
/etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.lpd for adler and /etc/printcap for
kingfisher. Note that because kingfisher does not have its own printer
I found it convenient to call its remote printer "lp" so I can just do
lpr foo.bar
rather than
lpr -P foo.bar
Note that /etc/hosts.lpd on tazieff must agree with /etc/hosts this was
my mistake last time. ie the entry in /etc/hosts.lpd is exactly the
same as the field immediately following the IP in /etc/hosts
regards,
Ken
