RE: Printing through remote machine
Thank you !
It worked fine. Is the fact that Postscript file is a simple text file
helped ?
What happen if the file contain unprintable characters ? (It is not needed
here, just to enhance my knowledge).
About using directly the "lpr" : I can do it from the remote host, but if I
like to do it within my Linux shell I need it to be shared with samba or
something, no ? How will I redirect my queue to the other machine ?
Bye the way (off topic) :
Hi-Tech college has two interesting courses -
1) LINUX system administration.
2) Mastering UNIX shell scripts.
