lprng

[Bob Elzer]

Well I don't believe it should be localhost, maybe the IP of the machine the
printer is connected to.

Are you sure your printer is shared, having an entry in samba doesn't mean
it's shared, it needs to be shared in LPRng.

Have you tried searching for the log files, /var/log/something for cups it's
/var/log/cups/...

I'm using cups, so I don't know how much my files would compare to yours.

Hi,

the rm entry from what I can tell is not needed because I have the lp flag
set.  Im pretty sure the file is getting to lpd but Im not sure about
debugging from there.  I am printing from a windows XP pro machine.

heres the error I got when I put in the rm entry:
Warning - lp1: 'conflicting printcap entries :lp=/dev/lp0:rm=localhost'
