I got the hosts.lpd and a similar /etc/printcap, but one Linux box when it
does an lpq I get:

connection to printerserver.real-time.com is down

On another Linux box lpq gives me:

printserver: Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    tanner     5    thief.1daYvP                          19723 bytes

If I print from a Windoze box, to printerserver, using Samba, the Windows box
thinks the printer is paused.

Really weird.
