I have two questions relating to printing remotely onto
a AlphaStation 200 running OSF1 V3.0b with a locally attached
HP LaserJet 4MP.
1) How do I allow a Sun Solaris machine access to the printer ?
lpstat -t on the Sun reports that the printer is faulted, and correctly
reports that 'we don't have access to the printer 'blah'' if I
take out the Suns hostname from /etc/hosts.lpd on the Alpha, so
it's not that.
This is urgent...any suggestions gratefully received.
2) When I do a lpstat -t on another Alpha, it says 'hostname.domain'
doesn't have access to remote printer 'blah', which is not suprising
since it has translated the first character of the hostname to a 'p'.
ie. my machine is called 'fermi' and the error report says
'permi.domainname' can't access remote printer....
If I put an entry into /etc/hosts.lpd of 'permi' on the print server
everything is fine.
Cheers
Ian
