I am looking for details on connecting a printer up to an ethernet
terminal server. What we have is a Bridge Communications CS/200
terminal server running the tcp/ip protocols talking to a Gould
PN6031 running UTX/32 2.0 (4.3bsd & SysV). What I want to do is
hook a printer up to one of the ports on the CS/200 and access it
from the Gould using the normal line printer spooler.
What I have so far is the printer hooked up to the CS/200 and assigned
an internet number and the Gould can rlogin to that number and echo
data to the printer and it all works fine. I have tried configuring
the printers internet number as a remote machine in the printcap
database but all I seem to get is 'daemon not present'.
Is there some standard way of achieving what I want or do I have
to hack the line printer daemon source to do this? Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.
