Aloha Gurus... I had a a print server power supply burn out and took the HD and motherboard board with it. The box I replaced it with took the install of Manolis 8.0 Release DVD ok for the base and I used portsnap to bring apfilter on board. Thats all there is on it. /etc hosts lists all boxes that were served by the old box (see below) and I am using the same server IP 192.168.1.50. /etc/ hosts.lpd host.hdk5.net 192.168.1.50 host2.intra.net 192.168.1.23 host3.intra .net 192.168.1.35 wireless_host. 192.168.1.2 (linux laptop not on printer but on the lan) The FreeBSD worked fine on the box that burned up. Printer is HP laserjet1100 ++++ Settings in /etc/printcap (on the server) lp|ljet4q|ljet4d....... :lp/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4q:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4q/log:/ :af=/var/spool/lpd/let4q/acct:\ :mx=:#0\ :sh: This all prints ok test from the server using command line lpr -P ljet4q /etc/rc.conf This does not work from any other hosts on the lan as it used to on the old server. (not working from xorg or text from command line on the hosts on the line to be clear.) I can ping from box to box and can use ftp to print from the server by sending a text file to it from the other hosts on the lan. Any help appreciated.
