Hi folks,
I have a problem with a revived printer connected to the lp0 port
of one of our alphas (Tru64v4.0f):
I installed an input filter (perl script) for this printer to
give it PostScript and other capacities.
All works fine locally.
Now I want to acces the printer from a remote machine and get the
message:
calypso: /usr/lbin/lpd: Illegal service request (2) from colossus
Printing is allowed in /etc/hosts.lpd
The printcap entries are as follows:
Local:
#PCL Local Printer with PS filter
drucker|lp14:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp14err:\
:if=/etc/drucker-if:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd14:\
:ct=dev:\
:sh:
Remote:
#PostScript remote
drucker|lp14|14:\
:ct=remote:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp14err:\
:mc#0:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=calypso:\
:rp=drucker:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd14:\
:sh:
The syslog says the following, not very useful to me:
Feb 10 10:36:55 calypso lpd[4590]: DEBUG -- lpd: accept on unix socket

Feb 10 10:36:55 calypso lpd[4627]: ERROR -- exiting ...
BTW, the same happens when I try to send a print job via a second
host, only this interim host has the problem then.
Obviously I am missing an important entry in some config file,
but the man page for lpd and printcap isn't any help since it does not list
any diagnostics.
tia,
Tschüß,
Dieter
