I am trying to setup an SGI 4D20 (3.3.1) to print on a postscript printer (on a SUN) over our network. I want to use the bsd print spooler. I put the following entry in /etc/printcap: #postscript printer ps2|ps|PostScript:\ :lp=:rm=hostname:rp=ps2:sd=/usr/spool/ps2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/ps2/ps2-log: Now, when I try to print a postscript file using: lpr -Pps2 file I get the message: lpr: socket: Protocol not supported jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. lpc status reports: ps2 queuing is enabled printing is enabled 1 entry in spool area no daemon present The SYSLOG reports: mountd: svcudp_create - cannot getsockname: Bad file number mountd: couldn't create SGI's mount UDP transport mountd: svdtcp_create - cannot getsockname or listen: Socket operation on non-socket mountd: couldn't create SGI's mount TCP transport Any ideas? My machine name is in the SUN's host.equiv and host.lpd. What I'm ultimately trying to do is print files from the showcase software package. --Mike
