- I am having problems getting a Sun SPARCStation to print to my PC
- which is running PC-NFS. Everything seems to load, the Sun seems
- to find my PC, but nothing prints. Any help would be appreciated.
-
- The printcap entry on the SPARC is:
-
- ------
- lp1:\
- :lp=:rm=haas:rp=LPT1:sd=/var/spool/hphlj2:
- ------
-
- I start PCNFSLPD.EXE on my PC with the following command:
-
- ------
- pcnfslpd -P LPT1: lp1 -l
- ------
-
- And typing "LPT a status" on the PC returns the following:
-
- ------
- LPT1 ready and printing.
-
- NFSP039: LPT1 - printing enabled, spool queue enabled, spooling enabled, 0 jobs in queue; no line-feed translation, no banner page printed, logging.
- NFSP037: Command complete.
- ------
-
- If I do an "lpq -Plp1" on the Sun, the PC's PCNFSLPD.LOG file looks like:
-
- ------
- Open system log for lpd.
-
- >>Fri Nov 13 14:15:55 1992:: 128.61.14.xxx requests displayq short.
- (with the real IP number.)
- ------
-
- But when I try to print - nothing happens. And there's nothing in the
- log file.
-
- Any pointers?
-
- Thanks in advance.
