Hello, people:
Can someone tell me what is wrong about my setup, that I cannot print
from one Linux box (RH 5.1, fresh re-install) to another (RH 4.2, has
been running 24/7 for most of the last 6 months). As background, it
used to be that I could print to a RH 3.0.3 (yes, I was around, that
early-- everyone else that I know was on Slackware) from a Sparc/SunOS
box without much hassle, but since I upgraded to 4.0, I was unable to
get any remote printing done on my printer, despite RTFM several times
over. Now that I just reupgraded and it being summer vacation ...
This is what I have in my /etc/hosts.lpd on the local machine
#
# File: hosts.lpd
#
140.112.50.23
140.112.50.160
140.112.50.162
#
# <-- End Script -->
#
140.112.50.23 is my newly installed RH 5.1 box.
Here is my /etc/printcap on the local machine

The following is my /etc/printcap in 140.112.50.23, the RH 5.1 box
that wants to do the printing. terrorist.math.ntu.edu.tw is the name
of the local machine (140.112.50.234).
