[comp.sys.dec] Remote printing with a DEC3100

(3100, Ultrix 3.1)
I'm trying to print from my DEC3100 to a Sun 4/60C.   Here's
my printcap for the DEC.  I have the DEC's name in hosts.lpd on the
Sun.   When I "lpr file" on the dec, I get no error messages, but
nothing ever shows up in the queue, either...

	:rm=tramp.math.uh.edu:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/tramp:\
	:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:

Here is an example.  I cannot tell you what is needed and what is not.
But we have defined the printer name on the remote host (you didn't)
I assume lpd-errs wasn't very telling nor was the lpc program.
