Hi,
Our network is managed by NIS.
I have setup the HP 4mv printer on DEC workstation 433 (Miata) named
hermes running DU4.0d. The printcap looks as follows:
# This is a Laser Jet 4MV printer
lj|lp1|4mv:\
:af=/usr/adm/ljacct:\
:ct=dev:\
:if=/usr/lbin/ps_level2of:\
:lf=/usr/adm/ljerr:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:mc#20:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/ps_level2of:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:rp:\
:rs=false:sb:sh:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lj:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
I could take a printout with out any problem locally. But from remote
it is not possible.
printcap on a remote machine:
lj|lw4|ps4|postscript4|PostScript4:\
:lp=:rm=hermes:rp=lj:sd=/usr/spool/lj:
When I print from the remote machine, I get the following message:
pluto{32}: lpq -Plj
pluto: waiting for hermes to come up
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st sarah 30 /etc/passwd 462 bytes
hermes lpr.log shows the following entry:
Feb 2 15:42:11 hermes lpd[21236]: pid=21372 (sig=11,err=-1)
I had the similar printer setup on a sun machine and it worked wonderfully
with the present configuration from a remote machine. Now I must have
read the sys admin guide many times to understand it clearly. I even
added the host name pluto in .rhosts and /etc/hosts.lpd of hermes
which is where the printer is connected. I am unable to understand
where I go wrong. Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
