- I am currently trying to configure lpr on ISC SVR3.2 and DOS workstations
- using PCTCP R2.05. I can't get the damn thing working...
-
- On the UNIX side I have lp configured properly with a printer called 'laser'.
- Now, I'm trying to configure lpr with the /etc/printcap file. One way I have
- lpr working localy only is like that:
-
- lp|TI laser:\
- :lp=/dev/lp:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lp:
-
- Then I try to lpr.exe from PCTCP and it complains telling me :
- error from server : 47 usr/lib/lpd: host name for your address (x.x.x.x)
- unknown
-
- (x.x.x.x) being my PC IP address.
-
- So, browsing through documentation I find out I have to insert my workstation
- name in the file 'hosts.lpd' which I did. I tried with the name 'PC2' or with
- the complete domain 'PC2.syner.net' or even with the IP... no go.
-
- I tried to configure /etc/printcap in this other way:
-
- lp|TI laser:\
- :lp=:rm=isc1:rp=lp:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lp:
-
- isc1.syner.net being my UNIX server.
-
- Like that when I try to lpr localy, it gets in the queue but nothing comes out
- and when I issue a lpq to look at the queue, it gives me this message:
- ISC1: waiting for queue to be enabled on isc1
-
- But the queue is enabled when I look at the status using lpc.
-
- HELP!
