i'm trying to get navalle (192.168.0.3) to use satan's (192.168.0.2) printer.
here's what i've done:
1. satan:/etc/hosts.lpd
192.168.0.3
2. navalle:/etc/printcap
lp|Remote printer entry:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\ # Local spool directory
:mx#0:\ # Max file size
(0==unlimited)
:sh: # Surpress header page
:rm=satan:\ # System that has the
physical printer
:rp=lp0:\ # Remote printer name on
satan
3. satan:/etc/printcap
lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/myfilter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:pc#150:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
4. both machines can ping, scp, ssh, etc each other.
5. using tcpdump:
i determined that navalle isn't even trying to send packets to satan
for printing. whatever's going wrong, it's on navalle's side.
6. logs:
the reason why i'm posting this is that there's nothing in the logs for
me to act on. no error messages on either machine. i can't even begin
to guess what's going wrong.
7. on navalle, lpc status indicates:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
lp is ready and printing
everything looks great. i'm stumped. any advice?
