Not Printing from telnet
I have been using ZipSlack 3.9 for the last few days on a 486DX4100 PC to replace a broken terminal. The only problem I am having is printing. The terminal had a printer connected to its printer port and the program being used printed directly to the printer. When I try printing from the PC directly, it works, e.g. cat file > /dev/lp1, but not when using the program through telnet. Also, the terminal had the name 'REPORTS' assigned to it in its BIOS Setup. The program printed to several other printers, two of them on the server. It is set up like this in the program
DEVICE - COMMENT
------------------------
/dev/lp0 - COPY PRINTER
/dev/lp1 - LABEL PRINTER
/u/spool - TEST PRINTER
REPORTS - STOCK PRINTER
I have run netconfig and set up the name of the PC as 'REPORTS'. The server has Red Hat Linux 7.3. There is a device called REPORTS in the /dev directory.
Can anyone help me?
