I know that I once ran into trouble with lpd when the client thought its
name was different than what the server thought it was. Check your log
files for messages about access being denied. Also check the hostname
configuration of the client and the /etc/hosts or DNS information for the
client's IP address. What is the client's primary name? Did you list the
primary name in the .rhosts or an alias? Is the client configured to use
that name?
I may be wrong.
