I just upgraded my Sun box to Solaris 2.6 and now remote printing
from my Alpha 2100A running DU 4.0D has stopped. Sun made major
changes in the print services for 2.6. The printer works fine from
the Sun and I believe I've done all the steps spelled out by Sun to
make this printer available to other Sun boxes but I still can't print
from DU (or NT3.51). Sun calls their new print services the "Print
Protocol Adapter" and describe it as a "Complete BSD print protocol
implementation plus extended Solaris functionality" :-/ When I try
to print from the Alpha, the entry just sits in the queue.
Here is my printcap entry (which was working with Solaris 2.5):
lp|lp0|lp:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=:\
:rm=local.sun.host.name:\
:rp=psdg:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:
lpstat -t shows:
System default destination: lp
Scheduler is running
Output for printer lp is sent to remote printer psdg on local.sun.host.name
.
.
lp:
printer is on remote host local.sun.host.name with name psdg
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries

Requests on lp:
local.alpha.host.name: Mon Jun 29 12:41:51 1998: waiting for
local.sun.host.name to come up
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
