Thanks everybody for your early answers!!! Hope I can resolve my trouble
The message was as follows:
Hello everybody!
I wonder if someone can help me with this simple problem:
I have a Windows NT based Network, and also my printer servers are NT. Almost all
my clients are PC-Windows but I have some Solaris 2.5.1 client machines. I have installed
NetManage's Chameleon NFS in the NT Servers to share disk resources and some day...
printers!!!
Chameleon have the "lpd" program running. In Solaris, I've used "admintool" to
install access to remote printer, but nothing: impossible to even send a print job.
Maybe I have conflict with the names of the queues or something.
Can someone help me, maybe someone have a simmilar configuration.
Thanks
Hector Casavantes
