Configuring the Tarantella server to accept remote print requests

Once you've configured your application server printers (if necessary), you may also have to configure your Tarantella server so that it can accept remote print requests.

On some systems, for example Linux, the /etc/hosts.equiv file (or /etc/hosts.lpd if available) must contain an entry for each application server that may send a print request. Check your System Administration documentation to see whether you need to do this on your Tarantella server.

If you're using either the SCO Merge or the WinFrame/MetaFrame Windows protocol, you need to add an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv for the UNIX server running Merge or the ICA client.

For Windows Terminal Services, WinCenter or Citrix UNIX Integration Services, add an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv for the Windows server.

Note also the following system-specific requirements:

On this system... Do this...
Linux Ensure the lpd daemon is running. To check, type /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd status. You can start the daemon by typing etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd start.
