Hi all,
My special thanks to Tony Patton who simulated the similar setup and pin-point the problem.
Also I 'm thankful to Patrick Miguel, Jeffrey Hummel, ROBIN Jean-Marie, Murtaza, Devesh Pant for giving guidance on the same topic.
Solution to the problem:
a) Sample of /etc/printcap file on Alphaserver:
lp2|dmp:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lp*err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=win2k:\
:rp=dmp:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd*:
* is the extension file/ directory names.
win2k is Intel server name which we can ping from Alphaserver
dmp is the name of printer defined in windows2000. Local printing through Win2k works ok.
b) Configured "Print Services for Unix" on Windows2000 Server
c) After this start TCP/IP Print Service, which By default doesn't start automatically.
This solution really works!
Thanks again.
Regards.
