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:\ :lp=:rm=gateway:rp=HP4M:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp: Any help would be greqtly appreciated.
