I seem to recall somewhere that the rm and rp nomenclature was being deprecated in favor of lp=raw@taurus, or some similar nomenclature. I am very vague on this point. But, just guessing here, what if you put :force_localhost@ into your printcap entry? This is supposed to turnoff force_localhost and make LPRng clients, like lpq, consult the remote as opposed to the local host. Might be interesting. I can't test this myself since I am not using your version of LPRng. Joel
