HI,
I haven't had much luck getting questions answered lately, maybe my luck will
change on Thanksgiving.
I have an HP1100 printer that I set up on machine "moe" with apsfilter, and is
working perfectly. I have a hard copy of the Handbook that I went by, and I
have Googled with no joy.
I'm trying to setup machine "larry" to print text only to the printer on
"moe", but I'm not getting anywhere. Jobs get into the local spool, but time
out waiting on the remote machine to "come up". I can ping the remote
machine with no difficulty.
I have the following in /etc/hosts.lpd:
[charles@moe ~]$ cat /etc/hosts.lpd
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.lpd,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:42 peter Exp $
#
# See lpd(8)
#machine.domain
larry.howse.homeunix.net
Here's moe's /etc/printcap:
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
hp1100|ljet4;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/hp1100/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
Here's larry's /etc/printcap:
lp|hp1100:\
:lp=:rm=moe:rp=hp1100:sd=/var/spool/output/moe:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Here's a sample print session on larry:
[root@larry ~]# lpr /etc/rc.conf
[root@larry ~]# lpq
larry.howse.homeunix.net: waiting for moe to come up
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st root 9 /etc/rc.conf 926 bytes
connection to moe is down

Thanks,
Charles
