Enable remote jobs for a spool from the command line.

[sstilton]

Does anyone know the argument to /usr/lib/lpadmin that will enable the spooler to accept remote jobs????

#enable "spoolname"

Does not enable remote jobs by default.

Thanks in advance.

hi

if i am not wrong enable/diable and accept coomands are for the printer to start worptinyg snd accepting jobs. hence there is nothing for spooler to accept remote jobs.

u actually set up a remote printer on server Bif u have a printer on server A when remote printer on server B is enabled it prints on server A


---------------
ur feedback is a welcome desire

$ ps -ef | grep lpd
    root   325     1  0   Sep-06       ?    00:00:00 /usr/lib/lpd
$ netstat -an | grep 515
tcp        0      0  *.515                  *.*                    LISTEN
$

As long as lpd is running and listening on port 515 your system is already set up to accept remote print jobs, as tshot says...
