I have one NeXT with printer, running 2.1, amidst a sea of Suns.  I've
been running for a long time with the NeXT's Network Type configured
as Non-NetInfo Network, with NIS enabled.  The printer is a recent addition.

Local print works fine, but I can't get the printer exported.  If I just
try a print operation from a remote Sun, I get:

 ...  /usr/lib/lpd: Local_Printer: Your host does not have line printer access

If I go to PrintManager, and try to enable Public access, I get an Alert box
complaining "Printer cannot be exported to this same computer".

What am I doing wrong?
