Hello Siriam,

sorry I mixed something!
I is not mini-lpd. The right name is cups-lpd!

Please have a look at
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.4/man-cups-lpd.html

to configure the xinetd please have a look at the manual of your distribution and google is your friend.

when cups-lpd is configured and xinetd is running, you are able to check it with
netstat -pant on the linux box. Lines like this should appear:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:515             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5939/cups-lpd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5939/cupsd

from the commandline (cmd) from the SAP-Host it is now possible to test the connection via telnet <saphost> 515.

when the telnet is not refused everything is ok!

regards
Franz
