<BR><BR>
I like to print from Solaris to Linux.
The /etc/hosts.lpd file contents the sun IP address.
I have installed the Linux printer on the Sun by remote printer.
It works fine, but when i print to the remote linux printer, it is fail.

I presume you mean that it works fine "locally" but
fails from the remote clients.

the contents of the <TT>/var/log/message</TT> file:

I guess this is a hacked up excerpt from one of your

But the printer in local mode on linux works fine.

Well, '<TT>lpd</TT>' is black magic to me. I've got my remote
printing working on one pair of systems but not on another.
Also '<TT>lpd</TT>' seems to be a security nightmare that's almost
as bad as the older '<TT>sendmail</TT>' releases.
<br><br>
One possibility would be to try installing <TT>LPRng</TT> (the
next generation of the lpr suite). I've printed out the
manual for it (over a hundred pages long) and worked
through a bit of it. It does seem to be an industrial
strength printing/queueing system. Aye, but there's the
rub, it may be overkill for your situation.
<br><br>
So, all I can suggest is that you make sure that you've
followed all of the steps and suggestions in the Printing
HOWTO and that you try to get more specific debugging data.

Thanks for your e-mail. I have read many HOWTO about this, but I am going to
try everything.
