I have been trying to remote print from one linux box to another.

printcap in first linux box:

lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :rm=elsie:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sh:


printcap in second box (elsie)

lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:


I also listed the first machine in both /etc/hosts.lpd and
/etc/hosts.equiv

When I try to print from box one to box two, things spool up on box
one, but never get sent. 

Here is lpq on box one:

pokie: waiting for queue to be enabled on elsie
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    sen1       11   junk                                  68 bytes

elsie: lpd: lp: Your host does not have line printer access


So, elsie is not letting pokie (box one) get access.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
 -sen
