Just follow the Sun documentation, but for the rp= value specify
Local_Printer (not lp).

4.2 and 4.3 are only used with locally-attached drives.  You
cannot unplug a SCSI drive from a NeXT or Sun, plug it into
the other, and use it.  The problem stems from incompatible
disk labels, even though the filesystems themselves have the
same format.  You can NFS-mount in either direction, however
(specifying "nfs" instead of "4.2" or "4.3").

Not!
