The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

setting up remote lpd printing in linux

Asked by mattmc97 in Linux, RPM Installer, Linux Distributions

Tags: linux, remote, lpd, printing

hello all.

I am trying to set up a linux box at a remote location that will print from a sco box at the home office. I have the sco machine setup to print already. I set this up in windows already and it was working but the trial program was very expensive and I am looking for a linux alternative and was told it could be done.

I have set up a linksys printserver with 3 printers on it that use ports 4010, 4020, 4030. I have connected Mandrake print manager and have installed one of the printers as a network printer at 192.168.1.30 port 4020 and printed a test page and it all works fine.

How do I now set up the linux box to receive the lpd command from the unix box?  

when i go into add a printer and the only lpd option is to install printer on remote lpd server but I want to install a local (network printserver) lpd printer that is printing from a remote location!
