This should be an easy one (I hope!) I've got 4 PS/2's hooked together through ethernet. All I want to do is print a file from Machine 1 on a printer connected to Machine 2. I haven't found the answer in a manual yet. I have uncommented the appropriate lines in /etc/qconfig and supplied the print machines name. Still no luck. Thanks in advance Gary Kakazu kakazu@theory.tn.cornell.edu

Still no luck. try also adding each host to the /etc/hosts.lpd file, and restarting the qdaemon';s on each (or rebooting them all)... but that still doesnt answer my remote printing AIX 1.2 -> AIX 3.1 prob... cheers jon

Because that's what the names in the qconfig files are used for, its not something like specifying a remote host name. If you are just running 4 sites on an ethernet without TCF then what you must do is use the "remote back end" on the client and the server with the printer must be running lpd. I belive the remote back end is called /etc/lprbe, you must configure qconfig to call this on the client. Its been a while, but I know this can be made to work. Good Luck.
