Hi
I've set up a printer on our Solaris box using admintool (other than printer name,
all other properties for this printer follows that of an existing working printer as
shown by admintool GUI). It's a HP Laserjet with JetDirect network port
connected to the network.
The printer name is then defined in the /etc/hosts with the IP address of the
JetDirect (following an existing working printer).
When I test print using root using the command below, nothing was printed :
# lp -d slareghp1 /tmp/test.txt
request id is slareghp1-24421 (1 file(s))
Using ordinary account would give error :
$ lp -d slareghp1 /tmp/test.txt
request id is slareghp1-24421 (1 file(s))
UX:lp: ERROR: You are not allowed to use the destination
"slareghp1".
TO FIX: Use the lpstat -p command to list all
known printers; you can use those marked
"available".
$ ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
Also, from the same Sun server, I was able to telnet
into the JetDirect's IP address (but this is not lp's port,
only port 23).
What Tcp port does "lp" uses when it send a print job
to a remote print server (ie JetDirect in this case)?
What should I do next to get it to work ? Could it be
a firewall is on one of the subnet that prevented the
printing? I probably can verify if I know the Tcp port
used by lp
Since I could telnet into this JetDirect, what's the command I
could issue to do a "test print" locally to the printer - just want
to verify that the user & I are talking about the same printer
More info :
A colleague just told me the likely Tcp port used for printing to
the JetDirect is Tcp 9100 & from the Solaris server, I could
establish port 9100 is reachable :
boasun02:/etc >telnet slareghp1 9100
Trying 10.51.19.140...
Connected to slareghp1.
Escape character is '^]'.
I telnet into the JetDirect & checked current configuration :
