I'm pounding this laptop in to the ground using my fingers :o)
I have a printer on my home network,
one is connected to W2K server and shared as "Deskjet"
I can print from my Redhat box, I'm running Samba on that machine.
so I know Linux can print using that printer.
My Debian laptop does not have Samba installed, I'm not sure I want to
install it as it takes almost 12 megabytes of disk space.
"df" says
filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 170274 86777 74706 54% /
I would need a printcap local that looks like this to print to a remote
printer.
# REMOTE djet695
:lp=:\**
:rm="machine":\
:rp="printer":\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
I get "lpr: cannot open remote"
the remote hosts.allow has the machine name in it.
the remote hosts has the ip and name in it.
I must be missing something...
do I need an entry to "ssh"?
Sam.
