To solve my problem of remote printing, it was very simple (once I found out what I was doing).
Edit the /etc/lpd.perms so that it allows remote print job requests: Find these following lines in the file: # reject remote prints from arbitrary hosts REJECT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER Replace them with the following lines: # accept remote prints from arbitrary hosts ACCEPT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER Most importantly of all you need to re-run the printer spooler. If you have lprng installed (instead of lpr) then you have to do the following: /etc/init.d/lprng restart You may also have to do: /etc/init.d/lpd restart and then everything should be working... It is not needed to edit /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv Hope this helps you all out. John.
