Hello,
The correct place to send this request is to hesreq@mit.edu.
You should provide them with the printcap entry that should
be put into hesiod to allow for remote printing to your printer.
Here's an example for a printer I have connected to my Linux machine:
mule:rp=mule:rm=FOUNDATION.MIT.EDU:sd=/usr/spool/printer/mule:ka#0:pc#0:rq=(null)
I authenticate based on hostnames, as I have yet to find any
kerberized lpd which works with the Athena printing stuff.
