Thanks, Willem for the lightning response. OK, I killed lpd on the server and restarted cups. Now the connection is being refused by the server. This happens for lpq as well as for print jobs. Printer: hp2100@xxxxxxxxx (dest hp2100@xxx) Queue: no printable jobs in queue Status: hp2100: Update_status: no identifier for 'hfA785' at 09:23:26.057 Printer 'hp2100@xxx' - cannot open connection - Connection refused There is no firewall in place on either machine. port 515 isn't commented out for tcp or udp in /etc/services. According to the RH Customization Guide, you are supposed to be able to enable the lpd protocol by checking a box in the sharing dialog. I have it set for ALL hosts allowed.
