Hope someone has a quick answer to this; My machine (192.168.1.1) would
like to print to the okilaser on lp2 @ my remote machine (192.168.1.6).

The remote machine has the printer setup & configured so local printing is
OK, the files;

  /etc/hosts.lpd reads 1 line: 192.168.1.1
  
  /etc/exports has a line: /  192.168.1.1(rw,no_root_squash)

  /etc/printcap (2 files, remote(with printer) followed by my machine's)


##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL laserjet 300x300 letter {} LaserJet Default {}
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp2:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:


##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE laserjet 300x300 letter {} LaserJet Default {}
lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :rm=192.168.1.6:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
 
...however despite this (and fooling with  /etc/hosts.equiv  didn't help),
I still get this error when trying to print to the remote machine:


Error printing test page to queue lp

Error reason: lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.


???...<sigh>....what have I missed?


Cheers!!
