setting-up a remote printer

[Mark Greene_1]

Trying a different approach with my HP8100, I delete the setup I had on my system as a network connection to the jetdirect card, and tried to simply set it up as remote.

So I went into sam and did the delete, but when I do the add I get the message "remote printer "XXX (whose location is NAME on IP.ADDRESS.XXX)" already exists on this system"

I checked every file in /etc/lp and /var/spool/lp and there are no references to the original printer set-up. Does anyone know where lp is still getting the printer info that it sees the printer as previously existing? I've stopped and restared lpsched with the same results.

Ideally if I can find the file still retaining the reference, or the deamon running still holding the old info to restart, then I can continue with the remote printer setup.

thanks,
mark

Sanjay,

The first set of links you provided were exactly what was needed, thank you. I was able to setup the printer as remote and print to it. Of course, the problem I'm having is still there--4 blank lines between each line of text, plus now the staircase-affect due to the lack of any filtering on the Unix side.

The staircasing is not a surprise, but the 4 blank lines is telling me that either the default line-length on this is something over 300 characters, or I'm getting multiple lf/cr translations (i.e., additions) somewhere along the way.

Back to talk with the network group, I suppose...
