I am trying to get a printer queue at a remote host to be able to print
files from another host. The queue works fine for local files on it's
own host, but I cannot seem to configure the
lpsyste/lpadmin/pmadm/sacadm stuff to get my remote system to be able
to print to it. I have:

1 - defined the remote system (the one with the printer on it) to the
local machine with:
'lpsystem remote-system' command

2 - defined the printer with the:
'lpadmin -p printername -s systemname!printername' command

3- done the enable and accept stuff, and the lpstat -t looks ok at this
point. Then after I go to print to it, the lpstat -t reports that the
'system is not responding'

I have read something about having to configure a 'listen' service for
the remote print requests using 'pmadm' and / or 'sacadm' but the
information in the MAN pages on this is very cryptic and have only
examples of defining terminals.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
