LPRng error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER'
 

Hi,

I've been trying and trying to get remote printing up and running on my network (all Redhat 8.0). Searches on Google and reading thru the HOWTOs didn't give me a sulution.

It has something to do with permissions, but /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.lpd contain the correct lines.

I can print on the machine with the printer physically attached if I just do lpr -P labels [file], however if I include the IP (lpr -P labels@122.0.22.1) I get an error.

Pinging to that address works fine. I can rlogin (but not rsh or rcp !) so that might point to a permission issue....

This is the standard (error) output :

-1- printing on the print server box with just the printer name (WORKS)

Why the 'no connect permission', while I'm root on that same 122.0.22.1 machine ? No wonder it doesn't work from another machine... and that's just what this is about.

Hope someone can help... Been eating up too much of my time.
