Hi netters, I have a problem. I try to print from an Apollo running under SR9.7. The BSD4.2 print server is on an Apollo runnin 10.2. I filled in the /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/hosts.equiv file with the name of my station. When I call lpr I get the following message : cern10: /bsd4.3/usr/lib/lpd: ;<p: Your host does not have line printer access jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. The /usr/spool/lpd/printer files are correctly set. If I kill the lpd daemon on the 10.2 station (cern10) and restart it again than my job is printed. My /etc/printcap and /usr/spooo/lpd/myprinter are linked to the printer server lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 21 Sep 17 12:00 printcap@ -> //cern10/etc/printcap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 22 Jan 26 1990 /usr/spool/lpd@ -> //cern10/usr/spool/lpd Is it anything I forgot to do????????? -- Pietro Paolo Martucci | Ohi vita, Ohi vita mia....

One work-around is to not link the printcap file and spool directory back to the print server node. Define the printer in each of the non-print-server nodes to be a remote printer, and specify the name of the remote node as the remote machine that the file should be printed to. You would also have to run lpd on every node.
