Please help-
I finally acquired a printer. I have two machines on a home network
running Slackware 4.0. The remote machine can not print.
NewBox has the printer connected to it and prints OK. Happy is
remote, and is spooling the file and waiting for the other machine to
come up. The other machine is up. I am able to telnet and FTP
between the two machines. What am I missing?
On NewBox:
NewBox# cat /etc/services | grep print
printer 515/tcp spooler # line printer spooler
NewBox# cat /var/spool/lpd/status
lp is ready and printing
On Happy:
happy# cat /var/spool/lpd/status
waiting for NewBox to come up
happy# cat /etc/printcat
# Remote printer
lp:rm=NewBox
Thank you,
Peter
