Network: how can I set up remote printing (sid/lpr)
In my high school classroom we have a small network of four linux boxen, with private block ip addresses (our Public School System domain is in a private block), with one printer. I have been able to ftp/telnet between my own boxen, but I am unskilled so don't know how much I can do with/among my colleagues who are running Windoze. I wonder about security, but I think we are ok to at least share one printer via our "Internet" non-internet network.
In my room I want to print to my printer from any of my machines. I have tried the scant instructions in the Linux Printing-HOWTO, and I have attempted to follow instructions on the debian lists. When testing remote printing, the file is spooled, but
mhs49:/home/adavis# lpc stat
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
11 entiries in spool area
waiting for queue to be enabled on mhs46.
/etc/hosts.equiv on mhs46 (the server).
Is there some clear instruction somewhere on how to do this. I can write a short HOWTO if
I can figure this out.
TIA and Thanks for many previous helps,
Alan Davis
