Hi All,
I have RH8.0 as a print server. I would like to add a Solaris x86 print
client to be able to print to the server.. On the client I have typed
lpstat -t and the outputis as follows:
[root at server1 /] > lpstat -t
scheduler is not running
system default destination: home
system for home: elvis
system for _default: elvis (as printer home)
home accepting requests since Mar 16 14:07 2003
_default accepting requests since Mar 16 14:07 2003
printer home unknown state. enabled since Mar 16 14:07 2003. available.
no connect permissions
printer _default unknown state. enabled since Mar 16 14:07 2003. available.
[root at server1 /] >
As you can see I have no connect permisions and an "unkown state" comment.
The following is the /etc/printcap on the printserver:
root at elvis's password:

[root at elvis root]# more /etc/printcap

At my place Elvis is *not* dead as you can tell. However, what can I change
in here to allow for the IA Solaris 9 (uses lpd) to be able to print to the
server?
Thanks in advance,
Phil Savoie
