Network printing

[csarid at utlxy.net]

Hello,

I tried the 1.1.x option but looks like  the router may be blockin the relay after all. As a workaround, I have usr the redhat printer --Xexport  optionand imported into one of the systems on that subnet to get around the problem. However, Althouth everything looks find, when I send anyting to a queue nothing comes out.

Is there a standard way of cloaning a print server on another system that is normally used?

Thanks!
