Andy,
Make sure that lpd is running on BOTH machines as a service.
Note that there is still a spool directory on the local machine man
aged by lpd. If the remote machine is busy or offline, print jobs
from the local machine wait in the spool area until they can be
sent.
When lpr is executed on the local machine, it first copies the
specified file to a
certain directory (the spool directory) where the file remains until
lpd
prints it. Once lpd is told that there is a file to print, it will
spawn a copy of itself (what programmers call forking). This
copy of lpd will print your file while the original lpd waits for more
requests.
This allows for multiple jobs to be queued at once.
