Configuring the Secure Global Desktop server to accept remote print requests

Once you've configured your application server printers (if necessary), you may also have to configure your Secure Global Desktop server so that it can accept remote print requests.

On some systems, for example Linux, the /etc/hosts.equiv file (or /etc/hosts.lpd if available) must contain an entry for each application server that may send a print request. Check your System Administration documentation to see whether you need to do this on your Secure Global Desktop server.

If you're using the Citrix ICA Windows protocol, you need to add an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv for the UNIX server running the ICA client.

For Microsoft RDP, add an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv for the Windows server.

Note also the following system-specific requirements:

On this system...	Do this...
Linux	Ensure the lpd daemon is running. To check, type `/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd status`. You can start the daemon by typing `etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd start`.
