A friend asks:

"I simply cannot get buckaroo (in Wendy's office) to print via the
NeXTstep print panels.  It is driving me to distraction.  Printing the
Unix way (lpr) works fine, so I know the daemons and the NetInfo stuff
for printer routing (printcap) is all set up correctly, but whenever
you try to print from buckaroo from a NeXT print panel, it spins for
30 seconds before saying `Unable to connect to printer daemon.'  That's
hogwash, since I can clearly connect to the printer daemon via lpr."

"Any idea what the print panel is doing that lpr is not?
Any idea how to fix this (it works from other computers)."
