Hi Fellow Managers
I have got a Print Server Connected to one of my servers
( DEC Alphastation 255 4/233 ) running OSF 3.2c.
I have no problem in printing from the server thru
the printserver.
But when i want to print from a second server
saying the first machine ( to which the printserver is
connected )as the rm ( remote machine in /etc/printcap )
the second server is not able to print. when you look at
the queue this is what is says

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Durai_at_peacock{durai}69=> lpq -Ptpdjtxt
peacock.rri.ernet.in: Thu Aug 1 22:53:02 1996: waiting for queue to be enabled
on garuda
Rank Pri Owner Job Files Total Size
1st 0 root 0 /etc/group 317 bytes


Warning: peacock.rri.ernet.in does not have access to remote printer tpdjtxt

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the /etc/printcap entry in the first server ( garuda for that printer is )

tpdjtxt|RTEL printer:\
        :lp=/usr/spool/rtel/tpdjtxt_dev:\
        :of=/usr/spool/rtel/tpdjtxt:\
        :sh:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/rtel/tpdjtxt_sd:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the /etc/printcap entry in the second server ( peacock for that printer is
)
tpdjtxt|RTEL printer:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
        :lp=:\
        :sh=:\
        :rm=garuda:\
        :rp=tpdjtxt:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/tpdjtxt:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PRINT FROM PEACOCK THRU GARUDA ?

i don't know what else has to be done.

any help/pointer would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
