[comp.unix.aux] Printer serving...

	Since we have had several posts about printing from/to A/UX
	machines, I thought I'd throw my questions in and keep the ball
	rolling a little longer.

	I have setup A/UX so that it connect to three LW. Printing from
	A/UX seems to work fine. I've printed to all of the printers via
	"lpr -Pprinter" and all my jobs were printed as expected. Then I
	decided to have the Sparc use the A/UX machine as a remote
	printer.

	I went through and setup the hosts.lpd file so that access was
	allowed to the Sparc. I setup the Sparc's printcap file to use
	the A/UX machine as the remote machine (rm=auxserve). After I
	thought everything was setup properly, I tried to print from the
	Sparc and nothing came out. I checked the printer que on the
	Sparc with "lpq" and this is what I received...

aux: /usr/lib/lpd: iw: Your host does not have line printer access

sparc: waiting for queue to be enabled on aux
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    root       400  printcap                              906 bytes

	I guess I must have missed something somewhere, but I can't seem
	to find it. Anyone have any ideas?
