Hi,
Anyone any ideas with this?
I setup a couple of remote printers on a SCO enterprise 507 system, attached to
PCs that are defined in /etc/hosts. The printers are HP lasers attached parallel
to Windows 2000 PCs, on which is enabled print services for unix
When I set them up they both worked fine - using the printcap entry to point the
output to a filter, and then to the printers.
A day later, neither printer works. They print from windows OK. I can ping
the PCs fine. Error message is of the format:
rlpstat printer3
valerie: Connection refused
connection to valerie is down
A normal lpstat -t take *ages* to list. Nothing seems to have changed - the jobs
simply don't get to the windows print queues. Any ideas?
cheers

Just to follow up my own question - I now notice this error in lpstat -t:
UX:lpstat: ERROR: Error reading printer information for "printer4"
(No such file or directory).
There is no printer4 in printer management - I was testing it and since deleted
it. Has the printing subsystem got corrupted? Where does it keep records of
which printers are installed - I can't see a printer4 directory anywhere....
cheers again

Usually, in /etc/printcap
