Sure I missed something: I tried to print a large file that was
only linked to the spool directory, - from a directory only
readable by myself, so lpd on the remote host (not a privileged
id locally !) couldn't get at it while the local lpd has root
privilege !
Thanks anyway to both Peters, Peter.Stern_at_weizmann.ac.il and
p.mittermayer_at_astro.univie.ac.at who both suggested to put a line
":lp:\" into the remote printcap.
But the printer also works without that.

|=> Hi folks,
|=>
|=> I have a problem with a revived printer connected to the lp0 port
|=> of one of our alphas (Tru64v4.0f):
|=>
|=> I installed an input filter (perl script) for this printer to
|=> give it PostScript and other capacities.
|=> All works fine locally.
|=>
|=> Now I want to acces the printer from a remote machine and get the
|=> message:
|=>
|=>
|=> Printing is allowed in /etc/hosts.lpd
|=>
|=> The printcap entries are as follows:
|=>
|=> Local:
|=> #PCL Local Printer with PS filter
|=> drucker|lp14:\
|=> :lf=/usr/adm/lp14err:\
|=> :if=/etc/drucker-if:\
|=> :lp=/dev/lp0:\
|=> :sd=/var/spool/lpd14:\
|=> :ct=dev:\
|=> :sh:

|=> Remote:
|=> #PostScript remote

|=>
|=> Obviously I am missing an important entry in some config file,
|=> but the man page for lpd and printcap isn't any help since it does not list
|=> any diagnostics.
