I'm trying to get NT 3.51 to print on Solaris 2.4. I added a line with "+" to
the /etc/lp/Systems file, but when I fire up the print job on the NT box I get
a "Cannot find system-info for connection" message appearing in
/var/spool/lp/logs/lpNet every 4 or 5 seconds.

What am I missing?

I've had similar problems printing to our Sun boxes running SunOS 4.1.2
and 4.1.4
The solution was to login in as Administrator on your NT box and change
the
permissions on the %systemroot%\system32\spool directory to allow
everyone
Full Control to all files and directories at and below this point.
