I am having trouble printing to a NeXT laser hung off another machine. Here are the specifics: 1. my machine (dendron) is running 2.1 and "Non-Netinfo Network" 2. my printcap has the following entry which has been niloaded Daves_NeXT: \ :lp=:rm=trees:rp=Local_Printer:sd=/usr/spool/NeXT/dsnp: \ :ty=NeXT 400 dpi Level II Printer: 3. the other machine (trees) is in the same domain running 3.0 and "Non-Netinfo Network" 4. the other machine has a hosts.equiv with a dendron entry When I print to "Daves_NeXT" it gets spooled but never prints. The status file in /usr/spool/NeXT/dsnp has a line "Waiting for queue to be enabled on trees". Nothing shows up in the Queue in my PrintManager for "Daves_NeXT" when I print. The strange thing is that when something is printed "locally" from trees to trees' Local_Printer, it shows up in the "Daves_NeXT" Queue in my PrintManager. So I have to assume trees is willing to let dendron send things to its printer. What have I left out? I have been doing the same thing for a long time under 2.x to a remote Laserwriter through CAP. Why not a NeXT printer? -- Thomas E. Burk University of Minnesota Internet: teb@dendron.forestry.umn.edu BITNet: teburk@umnacvx.bitnet USFS DG: t.burk:x400
