remote printers

The message:

rlp2: decix: /usr/lib/lpd: lp2: Your host does not have line printer access

Indicates that you have not enabled the local host as a printer user on
host decix. 
Go to decix, and add your host to it's "/etc/hosts.lpd" file, then issue
a kill -2 to 
the process id of the lpd daemon on that system.

Then go back to your system and start up the queue:

	qadm -U rlp2

Alternatively, to get rid of the file in the queue (it is queued on your
machine, not the
remote machine, since the remote machine is not even talking to you),
use the command:

	qcan -x 1

Where "1" is the job number as listed in your "output of lpq" insert.

Sincerely,
George Noren
