Has anyone had any success adding remote printers from a PI? I attempt to add one and it keeps coming back as "Invalid login" and doesn't add the printer. I have seen the remote system's file and it clearly has my site in there as "authorized". Also, I am trying to hook up a local printer and instead of buying a 25pin serial to 9pin cable does anyone have the pin outs for such a beast? Thanks, Paul

If your print server is a BSD machine, 3.3 should solve your problem (there are also some PD scripts to send listing to BSD machines). If you are just having trouble with mknetpr, check the /usr/spool/lp/.rhosts file on the remote machine. It should contain two entries for your machine. One to authorize root login, and one to authorize lp login. The root login is used for configuration (you are root when you run mknetpr), while the lp login is used by the lp daemon to spool print jobs for your machine to the machine with the printer. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | fsfacca@avelon.lerc.nasa.gov | phone: 216-433-8318 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've fallen and I can't get up!
