Hello all, I have an RH9 setup as a cups printserver on a lan. An HP2100 named hp2100 is locally connected and shared (with lpd enabled) using the Gnome printer configuration tool. Local printing works fine but the sharing isn't working. A sniffer running on the server machine shows the requests coming in and the lpd sending a message back: "Spool queue for hp2100 does not exist on server dt2. Non- existent printer or you need to run checkpc -f." ---Checkpc -f shows: [root@xxx etc]# checkpc -f Warning - hp2100: 'no :rm, :lp, or :sv entry' Warning - hp2100: Bad printcap entry - missing 'sd' or 'client' entry? [root@xxx etc]# -- and /etc/printcap contains: # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. hp2100: --and /etc/cups/printers.conf contains: # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.17 # Written by cupsd on Sat 07 Jun 2003 10:26:51 PM GMT <DefaultPrinter hp2100> Info Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 Location hp2100 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> Both cupsd and lpd are running on the server with no command line arguments. /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/lpd directories exist but only the former seems to be used and only by local printing. Recreating the printer instances with the Printer Configuraton tool hasn't helped. Can someone suggest the next step? Thanks in advance. John
