I am trying to setup an SGI 4D20 (3.3.1) to print on a postscript
printer (on a SUN) over our network. I want to use the bsd print spooler.
I put the following entry in /etc/printcap:
#postscript printer
ps2|ps|PostScript:\
:lp=:rm=hostname:rp=ps2:sd=/usr/spool/ps2:\
:lf=/usr/spool/ps2/ps2-log:
Now, when I try to print a postscript file using:
lpr -Pps2 file
I get the message:
lpr: socket: Protocol not supported
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
lpc status reports:
ps2
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
The SYSLOG reports:
mountd: svcudp_create - cannot getsockname: Bad file number
mountd: couldn't create SGI's mount UDP transport
mountd: svdtcp_create - cannot getsockname or listen: Socket
operation on non-socket
mountd: couldn't create SGI's mount TCP transport
Any ideas? My machine name is in the SUN's host.equiv and host.lpd.
What I'm ultimately trying to do is print files from the
showcase software package.
