To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I noticed that when I'm printing to a remote printer from 2.1.0 I cannot look at the spooled jobs with lpq. The error is something to the effect of remote system down. On the local machine lpq works fine. Once the network print job has finished printing, lpq works fine. It also works if the jobs are sitting in the spooldir (if remote printer is down) but not if it's actually printing. Is this a feature or a bug?
