How to set up as a remote lpd server?

[Jiang Fred-r54123]

All,
I got a issue here about to set up a remote printer on HP unix (V11.1)
which will call vms lpd printer.
On vms box: vms_node
A lpd printer queue: bcode1 printer type LPD (Multinet support tcpip)
Get lpd service running on Openvms box as following:
$ mu config/server
SERVER-CONFIG> show/full lpd
Service "LPD":
TCP socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM), Port 515
Socket Options = SO_KEEPALIVE
INIT() = TCP_Init
LISTEN() = TCP_Listen
CONNECTED() = TCP_Connected
SERVICE() = Run_Program
Program = "MULTINET:SERVER_LPD.EXE"
Accept Hosts = IP*127.0.0.1
Accept Hosts = 10.192.111.2 (huan.ap.frs.com)
Reject by default all other hosts and nets
Reject Message = "Your host does not have line printer access"
On HP_UNIX box: 10.192.111.2 (huan.ap.frs.com)
We create a remote printer which is assigned as following:
Printer name: remote_printer
Remote node: vms_node.ap.frs.com
Printer name: bcode1

I use printer command on unix box but nothing print out with no errors.
Command: lp -d remote_printer aa.txt

Please help to trace any problem set up I use here, Thanks.

BGs,
Fred

Hi Francesco,

Is it possible to do some sort of accounting/access control based on
source IP of the LPD connection for jobs submitted to the Multinet LPD
server ?

If you mean access control to the LPD server, you can do that using the
standard mechanisms in SERVER-CONFIG, e.g.

$ mu config/server
SERVER-CONFIG> show/full lpd
Service "LPD":
TCP socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM), Port 515
Socket Options = SO_KEEPALIVE
INIT() = TCP_Init
LISTEN() = TCP_Listen
CONNECTED() = TCP_Connected
SERVICE() = Run_Program
Program = "MULTINET:SERVER_LPD.EXE"
Accept Hosts = IP*127.0.0.1
Reject by default all other hosts and nets
Reject Message = "Your host does not have line printer access"

You could then use the 'set accept-net', 'set accept-host', 'set
reject-net' and 'set reject-host' commands to control which hosts can
send jobs to the LPD server.

For more sophisticated access control (e.g. limiting a particular remote
host to a particular local print queue) you can modify
MULTINET_COMMON_ROOT:[MULTINET.EXAMPLES]USER_LPD_SERVER.C.

As far as accounting is concerned, I haven't checked but you might be
able to do something with USER_LPD_SERVER.

Hello Fred,

The first thing to do is to confirm that the Unix host is actually making a
connection to MultiNet's LPD server. I suggest you try this:

$ mu config/server
SERVER-CONFIG> select lpd
SERVER-CONFIG> set log-accept true
SERVER-CONFIG> set log-reject true
SERVER-CONFIG> save
SERVER-CONFIG> restart
SERVER-CONFIG> exit
$ reply/enable=net/temp

Then attempt to print a file. If the HP Unix system is attempting to send
the file to MultiNet you should see an OPCOM message come out on your
screen.

You should also check that the directory MULTINET_SPOOL exists, and if there
are any files in it. MultiNet LPD server will create a temporary file in
this directory.

Regards,

Jeremy Begg
