next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a FBSD server/ router connected to a switch box off which is
another FBSD computer and an HP4M plus printer (JetDirect nic). Using
the "Handbook" LPD Simple Printer setup, I'm able to print from the
server using commands: lptest 20 5 | lpr -PHP4M and lpr -Plpps file.ps
So far so good. When I follow the instructions to print from the other
FBSD computer to this remote printer, I get nothing.
The /etc/printcap on the server is:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/printcap,v 1.14 2004/06/06 11:46:27 schweikh Exp $
#

lp|HP4M|local line printer:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:rm=HP4M:\
:rp=text:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/ifhp
lpps|HP4M|local line printer:\
:sh:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:rm=NPI1E4DCE.dwebman.com:\
:rp=raw:
The /etc/printcap on the other FBSD computer is:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/printcap,v 1.14 2004/06/06 11:46:27 schweikh Exp $
HP4M|hp|printer:\

Any help would be greqtly appreciated.
