Hello

I can not print over /net path files.
Why ?
My config:
- machine1 contain a file /export/home/dir1/dir2/toto.ps
machine1 : solaris 8
/etc/auto_master contain
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse

- machine2 : solaris 9
/etc/auto_master contain
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse

- printer is a network printer


From machine2, I try to execute
lp -d printer /net/machine1/export/home/dir1/dir2/toto.ps


nothing is printed.

Why ?

Need more data.

How is the printer configured? lpstat -lp printername will tell you.

Are you able to print a file that is local to machine2, like /etc/hosts
or /etc/motd?

I see you are printing a postscript file. Is the printer postscript
capable? (real postscript capable, not one of these cheesy "PS
emulations" that some of the HP models use.)

Is there an entry for your failed print job in the /etc/lp/logs/requests
log?

I have more information to identify my problem :

#lpstat -lp psw
printer psw is idle. enabled since May 03 17:57 2004. available.
Remote Name: psw
Remote Server: seslp2

My printer is postscript capable (HP LaserJet 4000N)

In fact I am not able to print in this configuration :
On <machine2> (solaris 8) there is a postscript file
-rw-r----- /export/home1/PS/test.ps

When from machine1 (Solaris 8)
I try to execute : lp -d psw /net/machine2/export/home1/PS/test.ps
I get
Message from root on <machine1> (???) [ Mon May 3 17:59:48 ]
....

Error transfering print job 307
unable to read job data.
<EOT>

When from machine3 (solaris 8)
I try the same as above it works !

If I modify right of the file by -rw-r--r-- then it works on all
machines.

So there is a permission or security issue that I can not find.
<machine2> and <machine3> are Solaris 8 but not at the same patch
level, but they are configured as identical.
And I have the same problem with a solaris 9 machine : it can print if
the file is not in 0644 mode.


Help will be hopefull

Remember that root on a remote system maps into nobody for nfs...

The default behavior of the lp subsystem is to link the file
into the print queue; the print spooler then reads the link.
However, if you've disabled world read on the file and you're
printing a remote file, the spooler running as root won't be
able to read your file.... thus you'll find the -c option to lp useful;
this copies the file as you before printing...
