I have rebooted the remote machine, and lp'ing a job locally on that machine prints. (I have successfully printed remotely before, it just stopped working.) When I do a 'lpq -Premote', it tells me it is waiting for xx.xx.xx.xx to come up. How do I convince the local lpd to try again? I have killed and restarted lpd on the local machine, but it is still waiting. I can ping the remote, telnet to the remote and the remote can telnet to me. NOTE: I am subscribed to the digest version of this list, and I need this answer quickly. Please email me DIRECTLY. Thanks.
