- May be Geoff Arnold can answer this one. I figured posting this q? to the
- net would answer my question faster than doing packet traces.
-
- If from a PC NFS client I configure multiple printer devices to goto different
- printers on different hosts, would PCNFSD have to be running on all these hosts
- for the prints to work. Or would one host w/ PCNFSD running get all the print
- requests and queue the jobs according to configurations in the /etc/printcap
- file.
-
- Actually, what I would appreciate is for someone to explain how printing is
- handled in PCNFSD. From config, file transfer to printing & print status.
- Thanks.
