I'm stumped ... Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I originally posted this to "questions", but never got any answers. Figured I would try the REAL experts :) I have 3 systems, all 2.05R. The two remotes are dialed into ISP's in their cities. I have /etc/printcap entries on the local system for both remotes. After installation, both systems printed ok. One system has stopped, and I can't find any reason for it. The status is now 'waiting for xx.xx.xx.xx to come up'. I have rebooted both machines. /etc/hosts.lpd on the remote has the local number in it (originally had the name). This was working fine, and then just stopped accepting print jobs. HELP!! How can I test that lpd is working on the remote machine for 'remote-type' jobs. (Jobs queued directly on that machine print fine.) The problem machine is a 14.4 dialup. What's driving me really nuts is that both machines were working fine, and both were installed the same (actually copied one to the other and modified a few files). Now one doesn't work, and I can't find a reason. Could this be a "not responding quick enough to port open" problem? Are there any tweaks I could apply to lpd.c (or printjob.c actually) to help this? Thanks for any help. Randy Berndt ---------------------------------- AOS/VS, FreeBSD, DOS: I'm caught in a maze of twisty little command interpreters, all different.
