rlp between 3 sco boxes

[aseidas]

I have a customer with three locations connected by a private wan, Location 1 is in Salt Lake City,UT Location 2 is in Las Vegas, NV and location 3 is in Phoenix, AZ.
Phoenix is on 5.0.5m
Las Vegas is on 5.06j
SLC is on 5.0.5m
I am trying to configure a print queue on Phoenix ( and eventually SLC when I get Phoenix to work) to print to a queue configured for a parallel printer (otc 850xl) on LV, this queue name is LV1 lpstat reports:

LV1 accepting requests since Tue Feb 04 13:59:27 2003
printer LV1 is idle. enabled since Tue Feb 04 13:59:27 2003. available.

I added the hostname of the Phoenix server to /etc/hosts.lpd.

I configured a queue on the Phoenix server to point to LV1 on the Vegas server:

LV1:\
:lp=:rm=192.168.100.15:ex:rp=LV1:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/LV1:mx#0


I can ping Vegas:

bradypho # ping 192.168.100.15
PING 192.168.100.15 (192.168.100.15): 56 data bytes

I also enabled LV1 on Las Vegas to accept remote jobs in scoadmin printer.

when I try to print to LV1 on Phoenix the job gets stuck in the queue waiting for LV1 to come up.

bradypho # lpstat LV1

I am pretty sure it is not the firewall blocking the requests as I have other queues setup on on Phoenix pointing directly to LPD enable printers in Vegas. I am at a loss! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Remember that first at all install the patches for the versions:

5.0.5 , rs505a , rs497c
5.0.6 , rs506a

For example machine B is in Las Vegas and you want to send a file from machibe A in SLC.

Machine B , set the printer as local , accept remote print jobs , edit /etc/hosts and include machine A with its address , edit /etc/hosts.equiv only with the name on machine A

When you setup a remote printer on machine A at the end you will see a message that tells to do so.

I Hope This can help
