I have tried adding two printers: JetDirect ljet, and local printer (on
parallel port) deskjet to a RH7.2 server, machine.
I used printtool to add them. Printing a test page from printtool says:
There was an error trying to print the test page.
Using 'lpr file' says:
Status Information:
sending job 'root@machine+678' to deskjet@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
cannot open connection to localhost - Connection timed out
Make sure LPD server is running on the server
Similarly, printing to ljet would use "ljet@localhost" and fail too.
lpd is running.
What is going on here???
To make it print, I have to specify the option -Pdeskjet@machine,
-Pljet@machine,
or by using 'PRINTER="deskjet@machine"; export PRINTER'
Thanks,
