I recently installed Tru64 UNIX 5.1a on a Compaq Alpha Workstation. I
am trying to get remoting printing to work and am having some
difficulties, although local printing works fine.
I have the following printers defined:
lp0 - an HP LaserJet 2200 - configured as local printer <=== works fine.
lp1 - an HP LaserJet 4050 - configured as a network printer.
lp2 - an HP ColorLaser 4500 - configured as a network printer.
I am trying to print directly to these printers, which seemed to work
fine from Tru64 4.0. I am a little confused as to why things aren't
working? Below I have listed the contents of my printcap file.
---/etc/printcap---
lp|lp0|0|lp:\
:if=/usr/lbin/ps_level2of:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\

:sd=/usr/spool/lpd1:

:lf=/usr/adm/lp2err:\
:lp=:\
:rm=ps-lj4500-math-1.njit.edu:\

The LaserJet 4050 is known as the host: ps-lj4050-math-1.njit.edu
The ColorLaser 4500 is known as the host: ps-lj4500-math-1.njit.edu
When a job is sent to any of the network printers, it appears accept
the job, but nothing is printed. I cannot find any error messages or
anything suggesting that there is a mis-configuration.
I am able to print to these printers from other machines, so I know the
printers are functioning correctly.
I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone may have to help me resolve this
issue.
Best regards,
