Package: lprng
Version: 3.8.A-1.1
Severity: important
After upgrading this system to amd64 lenny, I find that lprng
will not accept printing requests from other computers even though
I have modified the lpd.perms file to enable this. Local printing
works fine. I find that the same problem exists on another lenny
upgrade using i386 architecture. It doesn't matter whether the
originating machine is running lenny or etch.
Here is a typical result when trying to check the queue:
merlin:~$ lpq -P upstairs
Printer: upstairs@merlin (dest upstairs@gryphon)
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 22815 active
Unspooler: pid 22816 active

stalled(24109sec) raymond@merlin+812 A 812 /etc/printcap 544 12:29:02
Printer 'upstairs@gryphon' - cannot open connection - Connection refused
Here is the printcap file on gryphon:
# This file was generated by /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig.

... (other remote printers omitted)
Am I missing something obvious? I didn't select "print server" on
the task select when installing etch prior to upgrading to lenny.
However, this has never been an issue on etch.

So it's not listening on the TCP port: "connection refused"

README.Debian has this:
======
Remote Users not being able to print
------------------------------------
LPRng version 3.6.A locked down the daemon even more than previous
versions.
By default the Debian package doesn't listen on the TCP port.
To enable remote connections to the LPRng lpd daemon, add the following
line to /etc/lprng/lpd.conf:
lpd_listen_port=515
======
That sounds like your problem. If you have done that and its still not
working then you're free to reopen this bug.
