[comp.unix.questions] printing/dumping over network

david@pyr.gatech.EDU (David Brown) (08/10/88)

  I'm having problems getting a Sun to print and dump to devices that are 
  hanging off of my Vax (Running SunOS 3.5 and University of Wisconsin
  4.3+NFS).  I've put my Sun's name in the Vax's /etc/hosts.equiv, as well as
  in the Vax's /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/hosts.print.  Here's what happens:

>>> lpr TODO
>>> lpq
pirates: /usr/lib/lpd: : Your host does not have line printer access

captkidd: waiting for pirates to come up
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    david      54   TODO                                  172 bytes
...
# /etc/dump 0nf pirates:/dev/rmt0 /usr
socket: Permission denied


Sun printcap file:

lp|local line printer:Genicom 3310:\
	:lp=/dev/ttyA1:pl#66:br#9600:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
	:af=/usr/adm/lpacct:of=/usr/lib/lpf:rw:rs:

Vax printcap file:

lp|pirates|pirates line printer:\
	:lp=:rm=pirates:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:


  Can someone out there in netland shed some light on this problem?

Thanks!
  David

We just experienced the same thing a day ago. Check and make sure
your machine name matches the name in the hosts and hosts.equiv
file on the machines you are trying to queue too. One machine
was not happy with just the first part of a name - odin, it
wanted odin-sun-net. Good luck.
