Data LPD PRINTER CONFIGURATION
Dear All,


I have configured a printer on a unix box to be printing on windows xp printer. Below are the steps followed:-
  1. Create the printer on the Windows XP box and share it as prt5
  2. Enable unix printer services on windows XP box
  3. On unix box i make changes on hosts,hosts.equiv and .rhosts files contents of hosts file and hosts.equiv the same.
    • .RHOSTS FILE
      • root root
        info root
        infomain root
        backup root
    • HOSTS FILE
      • 127.0.0.1 localhost
        192.9.9.1 info
        192.9.9.29 sslstocks
        192.9.9.49 ssljc
        192.9.9.251 backup
    • HOSTS.EQUIV
      • root root
        info root
        backup root
  4. During printer installation i use HP Network Printer Manager
    • option no. 6 - add printer to spooler
    • enter spooler destination - prt5
    • enter network peripheral name - ssljc
    • the rest i take default settings and the printer prt5 is added to the spooler; and if you check on printer manager you will find it there.
  5. Below are the contents of printcap file.
    • prt6:\
      :lp=:rm=ssljc:rp=prt5:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/prt5:
  6. If i send a print job, it gets stuck on the queue for ever. on checking the connection on the printer manager, it changes to is different from the connection port /dev/null. What could be the problem. On the existing unix box the same configuration works fine.
  7. Am using Sco OpenServer 3.2v5.0.5
Best Regards,
Njoroge Joseph

The HP Printer option in the printers menu, creates a printer queue that uses port 9100 (JetDirect) to talk to the printer.
LPR/LPD printing uses port 515.
Delete the printer that you have created, and add a remote printer in the Printers section (Line 4 on the menu)
