I'm not sure whether this is port-mac specific, but having solved my
network problem, thanks SUNAGAWA Keiki, I'm having trouble setting up a
remote printer.

I have a SparcPrinter working on a sparc IPX running SunOS 4.1.3, but I
can't get a printcap entry on the macintosh running 1.3.2 that will print
to it.

Has anyone done this who can send me a remote printcap entry.  The docs are
a little confusing. The example in the printcap file that comes with 1.3.2
says lp:
the docs suggest that it should be lp:port@host which I tried as
lp:515@IPX
with the ip address for IPX in /etc/hosts
192.168.123.6   IPX

but that didn't do it. Leaving lp: blank in printcap doesn't work either.

The problem may be at the IPX end, but I did add the mac to hosts.equiv,
192.168.123.3

and the printer does print normally on the IPX ie, lp file prints the file.

Any ideas?
