Thanks Alen, I didn't have that on my system but a quick apt-get got it. Now I have to still work out why that will work but normal lpr wont' It's certainly something to do with access permissions. Thanks Ken too. I will setup my hosts files like you have and see what happens there. I will leave you all with a funny from a google translation. I entered "Your host does not have line printer access" and hit `translate' from German for the 1st hit. <quote> Symptom: They try to print out something over a print server (a printer at a distant computer); it fails with the message: lpd: Your host of does emergency have LINE printer ACCESS. A cause: The message says it: Their local computer may not do over the distant computer something expressions.
