Subject: Can't Print
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 12:00:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040430040015.640AF333CC@heisspf> (raw)

Hi,

On a standalone PC with no modem and therefore no Internet connection and
RH 9.0 installed I am unable to get the printer to work.

On booting starting lpd I get:

--localhost Get_local_host: 'localhost' IP address not available!

The same message I get when trying to print a test page in printer-config.

I configured a simulated Internet connection, the problem remains.

I am an old RedHat hand so-to-speak and this is the first time I can't get the 
printer to work. On all previous installations the PCs had modems attached.

Could this be the problem that there is none. Would be strange so.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards
-- 
Peter
