Problem:
Trying to setup a remote print queue to print to a VAX queue, using
Multinet for lpd on the VAX side.
Solution:
The setup on the alpha side was fine.
lpd running
printcap okay
spool directory okay
I needed the lpd-default-username on the VAX side.

Followup Question: (I hope this isn't really stupid.)
Can't I somehow setup to print to the networked printers without
going through another machine? They are not directly connected
to the alpha, but they are directly connected to the campus
ethernet, and are accessible via TCP/IP.
Note:
We are without a system manager for our OpenVMS and OSF machines. If you
are interested, let me know and I'll forward the job description, etc.
to you. The applications are being accepted until May 17th, and may be
submitted via email.
In the mean time, I'm muddling along with your help. THANKS!!!
