Printing port not working

[suju]

Hi,
I am using a Hp 9000 system(712/80) But the onboard Parallel port is not working & daily I have to to take some printouts of an application(Includes Text & graphs), with some space limitation in the system. Now I am planning to replace the m/b But meanwhile can I xfer the printing jobs to some other place (On another n/w m/c) & restored it back after changing the m/b.
Thanks

You mean change the spooling configuration to print on a remote printer?
Yes, you should be able to do that.

The easy way is to configure the printer on a other server.
And configure a remote printer on the system with the broken port.

depending on the other server you must make sure that remote printing is alowed.

Thanks But my remote system is a Windows based machine, so can i add a remote printer here.
Thanks

yes
right mouse button on the printer (in windows) an click the saring options.

after you share the printer you can ad the printer as a remote printer (using the ip of the windows server) and the share name.

Do you have a Windows driver for that printer? Have you installed Print Services for UNIX?

(in windows xp)

Also "lpstat -t" giving a warning that "waiting for queue to be enabled on 'hostname of the windows'" after a long time.
thanks

>Can you please brief how to install print services for Unix?

Just follow the Help & Support info when searching for "unix printing":
Go to Network Connections.
Under Advanced Menu, select Optional Networking Components
Then check: Other Network File and Print Services

>Also "lpstat -t" giving a warning that "waiting for queue to be enabled

That's probably because you don't have the service enabled.
