File and Print services for Unix - Win XP

[clinton]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Hi,

After installing file and print services for unix on XP,
it sets up your printer to accept unix (LPD) commands to
your printer on valid IP (\\19x.x.x.x\hp)
This works fine, however, The LPD service is not
configured to work for localhost (\\127.0.0.1\hp)
Is there any way for me to get this to work?

A quick way to test see if the service is available, after
installing f&p services for unix, open a window using the
Ip address ie \\19x.x.x.x and you will see a folder
called: printers and faxes.

When you open \\127.0.0.1 this folder is not available....
however for a brief while only, immediately after
installing the Service for the 1st time (before reboot) it
actually is available...

Also for some reason??? when connecting to the network via
dial-in) the service is also suddenly available for
\\127.0.0.1

Please help, I really need this to be available for normal
LAN connections also.

Many Thanks
Clinton

when connecting to \\19x.x.x and seeing the printers folder, you are
connecting to the server service not the LPD service. You do not need to
load additional services to open the printers folder over the ip address.

To view jobs over LPD you must use the lpq command. To submit jobs to LPD
you must use the lpr command. I'd say LPD does not support the localhost
IP. Anyone with more info on this can jump in.

lpq -S 127.0.0.1 -P hp

Windows LPD Server
Error: specified printer does not exist



lpq -S system2 -P hp

Windows LPD Server
Printer \\10.198.9.33\hp (Paused)

It used to work in Windows NT, so the code must have changed at some point.
It shouldn't matter though as you can use the local PC's name or IP address.
