Setting up my HP 710 to print on NeXT, How?

What do I need to do to make my HP 710 print across the room (over the  
ethernet) to a NeXT Cube with a NeXT Laser Printer?  The NeXT is part of a  
Netinfor set up. I have done the following:

	(1) Run SAM on the HP to make proper print spool queue for the remote  
Next. Also enabled the queue, made it the default printer.

	(2) On the Next, I added the name of the HP in the /etc/hosts.lpd file  
and restarted the machine.

Now, the HP sends the file to Next but nothing happens. The console on the NeXT  
says that attempt is being made to print to "Local_printer" (small p) when the  
HP clearly knows the remote printer to be "Local_Printer (cap P). So, the  
printing on the Next fails, and the so something happens by which the print  
job, which did not find the proper printer on the Next,  is sent to a  
non-existing Fax Modem on the Next. 

	Bottom line, no output. BTW, the Next is running 3.0. In 2.1, I had  
done something similar (don;t remember exactly) and it was working like a  
charm.
