- Well, this thread seemed to die.... I still can't get the
- daemon to print anything.
-
- My setup:
-
- kernel 0.99pl0 w/ tcp/ip compiled in.
- apple personal laserwriter on ttys2
- BSD lpr binaries from tsx-11
-
- /usr/etc/printcap entry:
- lp|local laserwriter:\
- :lp=/dev/ttys2:sd=/usr/spool/lw:\
- :br#9600:\
- :mx#0:pw#1000:\
- :sh:sf
-
- /usr/etc/lp* setuid root, setgid daemon
- /usr/spool/lw setuid daemon, setgid daemon.
-
- daemon is in /etc/passwd & /etc/group
-
- /dev/ttys2 is setuid daemon (have tried with setuid root too)
-
- /usr/etc/inet/hosts.lpr contains the line:
- brunhilda (my machine - don't ask)
-
- I also have
- /usr/etc/inet/hosts.equiv with
- brunhilda
-
- My problem is: lpr spools, but the daemon never tries to print.
-
- Does anyone have a working setup similar to this?
- Help would be greatly appreciated.
-
- regards
- Johan
