| I'm trying to set up my laptop and my server so that typing "lpr" on the | laptop sends a file to the printer that's connected on the server. I | thought I followed all the instructions in the relevant HOWTO, but | something is obviously missing. The laptop is running Debian stable, | and the server is running Debian unstable. | | sethg at belladonna:~$ echo 'This is a test' >test.txt | sethg at belladonna:~$ lpr test.txt | sethg at belladonna:~$ lpq | belladonna: waiting for queue to be enabled on petunia | Rank Owner Job Files Total Size | 1st sethg 1 test.txt 15 bytes | | petunia: /usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access Dunno if Debian is the same, but on RedHat you can create a /etc/hosts.lpd file and fill it in with the IP addresses of machines that are allowed to use the printer. Maybe you could use FQDNs, too, but I haven't tried that. Maybe I should test it.
