[NTLUG:Discuss] More Printing Problems

[Carter B. Bennett]

Okay'
I have wasted a whole day so far. These are the facts so far:

1. I have a payroll server over in the corner running RH 5.1 with a Okidata
    Laser printer attached, working great.
2. My desktop unit runs RH 6.0 and through the Control-Panel I setup the
    Okidata as a SAMBA printer (lp0), and it works great.
3. On a third computer I have installed Corel Linux. I set up a SAMBA printer,
    when I picked Windows/SAMBA style printer, a box opened showing all the
    computers in the OTR workgroup. I go to the payroll server and double
    click, down drop all the shared dirs and printers, I double click the lp0
    (Okidata Printer) and the box files in //payroll/lp0. I'm thinkin hell ya,
    now were talken.
4. But when I "lpr file" I get :
    lpr: connect:  Connection refused
    jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

    But if I do a "ps -aux |grep lpd" it shows to be running.
    This is turning out to be a real butt scratcher.

5.  The printcap file is:

##PRINTTOOL3## SMB laserjet 0x0 letter  {} LaserJet 0  {}
lp:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PR:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/PR/filter:\
	:lp=/dev/null:
##PRINTTOOL3## SMB laserjet 0x0 letter  {} LaserJet 0  {}
PR:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PR:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:\
	:if=/var/spool/lpd/PR/filter:\
	:lp=/dev/null:


I hope this gives someone some sort of clue to help me. The wall I'm bangin my
head on is real hard.

Thanks in advance.
