- We have PC-NFS running on an SGI machine with a couple of printers
- hooked up to PCs. Printing to one of them works fine, but attempts
- to print to the other one result in jobs stacking up in the spool
- directory. The jobs are apparently getting to the SGI, but they are
- not being sent to the PC with the printer hooked up to it. As far
- as I can tell, everything is set up the same for the two PCs
- (i.e. entries in /etc/printcap are correct and PCNFSLPD running
- on the PC). Any ideas as to what is happening? We really need
- this second printer to work.
-
- And while I'm asking printing questions regarding PC-NFS... is it
- possible to use lp to print to these PCs from the SGI machine? I
- have lpr set up and it works, but was wondering if the other would
- work as well.
