Moving a Print Server from Solaris to Linux

[regatta]

Thank you Paiz,

I know about cups-lpd but the problem it doesn't work !!

I setuped it and I started xinet daemon and in the client side I put
in /etc/printcap :



optrac710:  <---- PRINTER NAME
        :mx#0:
        :sh:
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/optrac710:
        :rm=tlc5:   <---- MY PRINT SERVER 
        :rp=optrac710:   


now when I try to print anything :
$ lpq -P optrac710
$
$ lpq -P optrac710
Printer: optrac710 at Linux_Client221 (dest optrac710 at localhost)
 Queue: 5 printable jobs
 Server: pid 2331 active
 Unspooler: pid 11526 active

Error: loop in printcap- optrac710 at Linux_Client221 -> optrac710 at localhost


and I don't get any message in the server side 

note: even if I do that in the server it doesn't work !!

 Right now we want to move from Solaris server to linux and we want to
use CUP system and we don't want our user to change there way to print
(lpr -P Prs12 /etc/fstab ) because they have many scripts that use the
command lpr My question is there any how-to or a book that can help me
so I can be able to Setup CUPs to allow anyone to send a job to it and
allow it to receive LPD jobs
 CUPS does provide an interface for submission of print jobs via LPR;
you should be able to do what you want without much trouble. Check out
the "cups-lpd" service in the CUPS documentation, or "man cups-lpd" to
get started.
