[comp.sys.hp] lpd

bernards@ecn.uucp (Marcel Bernards) (03/16/90)

Hi Netguys,

Sice we are using mainly BSD-ish UNIX(TM) systems, we 
encountered some problems connecting SYS-V taste HP-UX boxes
with lpr(1) and lpd(8).

Is there a PD implementation of lpd:lpq:lprm:lpc:printcap
on HP-UX ???? 
In case the answer is Yes: which archive site / ftp site has
this stuff (written in C,perl,sh,csh) ????

PLease E-mail bernards@ecn.nl

Greetings,

   Does anybody know if it is possible to use printers connected
to hpux machines from BSD systems using lpd protocol ?
   I know that the contrary is possible, but i would like to print
on my local printer from a remote lpd.

   Thanks for answers.

HP-UX releases of 6.5 or later (possibly 6.2) will accept lpd
requests from a 4.3 BSD system.  The HP-UX system must have
rlpdaemon running.  The simplest way to do this is to add
the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf file and then
execute inetd -c to re-read the configuration:

printer  stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i -l

There may be other configuration dependencies, depending on how
"secure" your system is set up.

The set up of this printer on the BSD system must be left to
the requestor :-}
