Title QNX4 lpd error: localhost.xxx.com does not have line printer status
Ref. No. QNX.000009450
Category(ies) Network, Configuration
Issue When trying to print to our network printer using TCP/IP, the initial print job goes through, but all other print jobs fail with the error message:

lpd: Your host <host address> does not have line printer access


Solution Prior to QNX4.25C, a 'localhost' entry in either the /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpb files is necessary.  All requests to print must come from one of the machines listed in either file.

With the release of 4.25C, this is done automatically.
