I have a small home network of three computers.
longwing (running SuSE 6.4), adler (running Debian-unstable) and
superchook (running Debian 1.3.1).
There is a printer on longwing and I can print from this machine ok.  If
I try to print from adler I get the following:

ken@adler:~$ lpr packages.txt
ken@adler:~$ lpq
adler: waiting for queue to be enabled on longwing.myplace
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    ken        2    packages.txt                          36178 bytes

longwing: /usr/sbin/lpd: raw: Your host does not have line printer
access
ken@adler:~$

What do I have to do to enable the queue?  Am I right in thinking that
the problem is on longwing?  I can ftp files between the machines in
both directions.

/etc/printcap on adler is as follows

lp|Remote printer entry:\
         :lp=:\
         :rm=longwing.myplace:\
         :rp=lp:\
         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
         :mx#0:\
         :sh:

adler is listed in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.equiv and 
/etc/hosts.lpd on longwing.

cluesticks anyone?

regards,

ken
