Hi Glen,
as a default 'force_localhost' is 'on' (if you did not specify it
otherwise at compile time)
You can disable the local spooling by setting
# default force_localhost (FLAG on)
force_localhost@
in the lpd.conf file, or you can as well put 'force_localhost@' in every
queue definition in your printcap...
take care
