Can't print from one Debian machine to another
In the past I've been able to print from one Debian 2.1 box to another
Debian 2.1 box without difficulty. However I recently reinstalled
Debian on the server machine, and can't do any printing from
remote machines unless I'm using Samba. I'd like to know what's going on
so I can get back to a "normal" configuration involving just lpr/lpd.
The error given on the workstation side is:
rs229038: /usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access
The Workstation setup:
Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.3.25
Machine IP: 130.108.229.32
/etc/printcap looks like:
lp|dj870|HP DeskJet 870Cse:\
:lp=:\
:rm=130.108.229.38:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
The server box:
Debian 2.1 / kernel 2.2.13
Machine IP: 130.108.229.38
/etc/hosts.allow has:
ALL: 130.108.229
/etc/hosts.lpd has:
ALL: 130.108.229
Printing on the server machine itself works fine, so the /etc/printcap
there should be OK. Any ideas where to go next? I'd be happy to provide
any additional information that's needed.
