I want to print from my backup PC to the printer attached to my
production PC.
The backup PC is running rh 8.0. The prod PC runs knoppix 3.3.
Does the backup PC run CUPS as its printing software?
Hmmm. Maybe not. I ran 'cupsd' as root and got a file not found or
somesuch.
You can start cups with:
/etc/init.d/cupsys start
That command was not found.
However, this worked OK,
/etc/init.d/cups start
I guess rh 8.0 doesn't have an easy way to see the cups printer across
the network. I brought up the cups interface with http://localhost:631
but I need to enter commands there that I don't know.
NB:
The Tab key allows you to complete or propose the path and commands
You can try to do:
/e [TAB]
give you:
/etc/
Interesting...
if you add i follown by 2 keypress of tab, It will show you a list of
possibilities:
ex: imlib init init.d iproute2 irc isdn
Then if you add n letter, you'll see
/etc/init
with [TAB][TAB] you'll see:
init init.d
just press point key will complete to:
/etc/init.d/
with [TAB][TAB] you'll see:
Display all 116 possibilities? (y or n)
This is the directory where are placed utils to start, stop, restart
... services (demon)
I'll keep these shortcuts, thanks.
Ps: you can start cups in Knoppix menu
Not on my KNOPPIX menu. Under K > Knoppix > Services, I only have
Terminal Server, SSH server, SYSLOG, and Samba.
