Well... I'm not the pro here -- there are other people on the list that can probably better help. These are just my guesses:
Try adding "ACCEPT SERVICE=R FORWARD" to lpd.perms Make sure LPD can bind to priviledged ports on both machines (TCP 515), LPD on the client might be binding to a non-priviledged port and LPD on the server might be getting pissy about it... check the documentation for the behavior of LPD. I think by default it accepts connections from non-priviledged ports but your distribution may have changed that in lpd.conf somewhere? Try slapping a simple printcap on your client machine (with just a lp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) and just set it up for remote printing to the server, disable the "default_remote_host" flag in lpd.conf on the client. Make sure both machine have force_localhost set (it should be the default unless it was changed at compile time by the person that made your package) Also, I don't know if this is a typo or maybe the source of all your problems really is this simple: in the error message that you put in your original post note that it reports that it cannot make a remote connection to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- note the hostname is "p1" not "pt1". Maybe you've got a goof somewhere?
