I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can tell you that a similar
setup on our system works fine (for Quattro and WfW).  Here are some
details from our setup.  We're running OS/2 2.0 + SP with TCP/IP
including all the latest and greatest CSDs from hobbes.nmsu.edu.

ON THE REMOTE MACHINE (without the printer attached):
        The target printer is "hp3ps" on machine "fidder".
        In \startup.cmd:
                start lprmon -b -php3ps -sfiddler lpt1
        Printer icon settings:
                printer driver: PSCRIPT.HP Laserjet III v52_2
                job properties: default
                output: LPT1
                queue options: driver = PMPRINT; print-while-spooling = on
                print options: default
        WinOS/2:
                ATM on (turned on and fonts installed from floppy disk)
                control panel, printers, Use print manager = off;
                        appropriate printer drivers installed and active
ON THE MACHINE WITH THE PRINTER ATTACHED:
        Pretty much the same setup, except that the printer icon
              has "printer specific format" turned on (is this needed?
              I don't really know...)


Good luck!
