I don't have an ubuntu box to show output exactly, hopefully this will get you what you need just the same... type "netstat -a | grep ssh" on the print server host, you should get something like this: tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN If you don't see the output above, then ssh is not listen and you'll need to type "sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start" Try the netstat command again... If, in the first time running netstat you DID see the output, check your firewall by typing "sudo /sbin/iptables -L | grep ssh", you should see something like this: ACCEPT tcp -- 10.0.0.0/8 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh If all that is correct the last thing to check is tcp wrappers, which probably are not as common as you once where, just cat out /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for any related content.
