To enable printing from all computers in our subnets I had to add
the following line to /etc/hosts.lpd:
*.tsl.uu.se
It was also suggested to add the NIS netgroups or a "+".
But that did not work so well when I tested it
(running Digital UNIX 4.0E).
Thanks everybody for their kind responses,
Roger.

Subj: How to disable /etc/hosts.lpd
Uppsala, 28-FEB-2001
I want to move our lpd print server from a VMS machine to Digital UNIX.
On the VMS machine all lpq requests from our IP subnet are allowed.
How can I do this on UNIX?
As I understood I have to put host names or NIS netgroups in the
/etc/hosts.lpd file.
Thank you for your kind help,
Roger.
