I have a postscript laser connected to one of my two machines, and the other machine pints to it in it's printcap file. Recently, I have been doing a lot of hardware rearangement, and when I wanted to do a print from the machine without a local printer, I got an error message about the link to the other machine being down. Sure enough, I checked, and the ethernet plug was out. I plugged it back in, checked it out via ping and ftp, all was fine, but I couldn't figure out how to tell lpd that the connection was back. I didn't want to wait for the timeout to get the print, so I lprm'ed it, and ftp'ed the print files to the machine that had the printer, and printed them. Point is, how should I have informed my machine that used a remote printer that the network was back? Without waiting until a timeout, that is. Thanks. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
