I want to print over the net to a printer attached to a machine runing BSD lpr/lpd spooling. How can I do this? Please reply via email davidh8@pogo.WV.TEK.COM

Assuming HPUX 7.0: Using sam, choose the Periperal Devices entry on the main menu, choose Printers and Plotters on the second menu, then choose Add a Remote Printer. Answer the questions shown on this next menu, taking care to answer "y" to the Remote printer on a BSD system question. Press Perform Task and that should do it! Bob Lienhart

A few details that might come up: You must have rlpdaemon (or whatever) running on the machine that is to accept print jobs. All machines that will submit print jobs should be in the /etc/hosts.equiv file on the print server. Other than that, remote printing has worked well to and from HPs for us. -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.

I have implemented remote line printing from an HP-9000/375 with HP ARPA Services to an HP-9000/550 with Wollongong TCP/IP by installing a "remsh" command in the 375's line printer model that sends standard in to the "lp" command on the 550. This works very well. I have also implemented remote line printing to a Masscomp-5600 RTU 4.0 by putting a script in our /usr/local/bin that does approximately "remsh masscomp -l special_user \| lp". This works very well also. I will email the stuff to those interested. John dunlap@apl.washington.edu
