Thanks for all your help, but I'm still getting nowhere with this remote
printer.

The Vax queue does exist:

  OCVAXC> sho que/full cprinter
  Terminal queue CPRINTER, idle, on OCVAXC::LTA1:, mounted form DEFAULT
    /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
    /PROCESSOR=LATSYM /PROTECTION=(S:E,O:D,G:R,W:W) /SEPARATE=(FLAG,TRAILER)

The Vax is using Multinet:

  OCVAXC> mu config/servers
  MultiNet Server Configuration Utility 3.3(35)
  [Reading in configuration from MULTINET:SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER]
  SERVER-CONFIG>sho lpd/full
  Service "LPD":
        TCP socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM), Port 515
        Socket Options = SO_KEEPALIVE
        INIT() = TCP_Init
        LISTEN() = TCP_Listen
        CONNECTED() = TCP_Connected
        SERVICE() = Run_Program
        Program = "MULTINET:SERVER_LPD.EXE"
        Accept Hosts = IP-132.162.34.244 , IP-132.162.5.20
        Reject by default all other hosts and nets
        Reject Message = "Your host does not have line printer access"


132.162.5.20 is the alpha.

When I submit a job, nothing shows up in the subsequent lpc status
or lpq -Pvaxprint:

  # lpc status
  vaxprint:
        printer is on remote host ocvaxc with name cprinter
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

  # lpq -Pvaxprint
  ocaxp1.cc.oberlin.edu: Thu May 11 16:00:20 1995:
  no entries

  # lpr -Pvaxprint acs_950510.html

  # lpc status
  vaxprint:
        printer is on remote host ocvaxc with name cprinter
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

  # lpq -Pvaxprint
  ocaxp1.cc.oberlin.edu: Thu May 11 16:42:08 1995:
  no entries


Additionally, the spool directory does exist:

  # pwd
  /usr/spool/lpd
  # ls -la
  total 6
  drwxrwxr-x 3 daemon daemon 512 May 11 14:40 .
  drwxr-xr-x 9 root system 512 Oct 18 1994 ..
  -rw-r----x 1 root daemon 4 May 11 14:40 .seq
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 34 May 11 14:40 lock
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 27 May 11 14:40 status
  drwxrwxr-x 2 daemon daemon 512 May 11 16:42 vaxprint

And, lpd is running:

  # ps axg | grep lpd
  30188 ?? I 0:00.27 /usr/lbin/lpd
  29481 ttyp1 S + 0:00.01 grep lpd


Any additional suggestions will be much appreciated.
