Re: [tlug] remote printing

["hatsuhiro" <hatuhiro@example.com>]

I need help. I browsed Printing-HOWTO, but couldn't succeed. My network
consists of a single Linux box networked by an ethernet interface to a
remote copy machine　as a printer. There is no extra print server for the
printer.

Added in /etc/printcap:

lp:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
    :rm=cp660:\
    :rp=lp:\
    :lp=/dev/null:\
    :sh:

where \ is a backslash.

Added in /etc/hosts:

192.168.0.2    cp660

Added in /etc/hosts.lpd:

cp660

My network is okay, checked by "ping cp660". Then

#    lpr -Pcp660 file
lpr: cp660: unkown printer

Please point me out what is wrong. Show me a successful configuration.
