David, >Yes. The bare IP address might work, but as noted, I don't do that. I have people telling me it should, but it's not any real problem to make another entry in /etc/hosts to cover myself (and the printer). >Or you can think of the networked printer as being an incredibly simple >"host" that has a fancy printer attached. :-} True. >(Fair warning: I suspect that HP's implementation of lpd leaves a lot >to be desired, such as the ability to queue requests.) But if they say a printer is lpd compatible, then I would at least expect it to understand the information sent to it by lpd. My guess is that it won't queue requests, unless it has a drive of some sort in it, other than on the machine that asks for the print job. Very much like a Windoze client does with the same printer(s). Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
