lp: no permission to show status ???

[Florian Salamin <florian.salamin@bluewin.ch>]

Hi,

I have set up two linux boxes with debian 2.1 and kernel 2.2.10
The first box (named gateway) handle print service on a LasetJet 6MP
connected directly.
The second box (named server) is the one on which I actually work.
I want to print from server to gateway, but nothing works!

On gateway, /etc/printcap is like that:
gateway:/# cat /etc/printcap

lp|HP Laserjet 6MP
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj6mp:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :pc#150:\
        :mx#0:\
        :force_localhost:
        :sh:\
gateway:/# 

And on server, /etc/printcap is:
server:/# cat /etc/printcap
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See the printcap(5) manual page for further 
# details.

lp|Remote printer on gateway:\
         :lp=/dev/null:\
         :rm=192.168.1.254:\
         :rp=lp:\
         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
         :mx#0:\
         :sh:
server:/# 

Now on gateway, everything works fine.
gateway:/# lpc status all
 Printer           Printing Spooling Jobs  Server   Slave Redirect
Status/Debug
lp@gateway          enabled  enabled    0    none    none
gateway:/# lpq -a
Printer: lp@gateway  'HP Laserjet 6MP'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Status: server finished at 17:32:10
gateway:/# 

But on server, if I try the command lpq, I have the following message:
server:/# lpc status all
 Printer           Printing Spooling Jobs  Server   Slave Redirect
Status/Debug
lp@server           enabled  enabled    0    none    none
server:/# lpq -a
Printer: lp@server (dest lp@192.168.1.254) 'Remote printer on gateway'
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
server:/# lpq
lp: no permission to show status
server:/# 

I don't understand what's wrong and there is nothing in the HOWTO's.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Greeting, Florian
