Hi All,

I'm quite new to the Linux and UNIX world. We have a SCO UNIX machine that we use for our customer database. We print invoices from it to our network laser printer. When I tried to setup our system to print a backup confirmation to this same laser printer but it doesn't work. I also tried testing the printer at the command line and I get the following error:

# tail /log/LAST_Master | lp -d lexmark_1

UX:lp: ERROR: Destination "lexmark_1" is unknown to the
LP print service.
#

If I look in the /etc/hosts file, I do have an entry for the lexmark_1 with it's IP Address.
I'm not sure what I need to do next. As I said above, this system prints invoices to this printer fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike
