Well - it feels like that sometimes.
I have two machines networked. Machine1 (Debian Testing) has two printers - one on the parallel port and one on a USB port.
I want to be able to print from Machine2 (Mandrake 9) to Machine1 but when I try I see a message in the logs 'Remote host did not accept the control file'.
I see this whichever printer I try and use so I assume the problem is on Machine1 but I don't know how to correct it.
Machine1 does have an /etc/hosts.lpd with the following entry:
machine2.mynetwork
There is an iptables firewall running (Endoshield) but I have tried after shutting down the firewall to no avail.
All other networking functions correctly.
Any advice would be appreciated.
