Hello everyone,

     I have a small ethernet of two NeXTstation Turbos and a Sun Sparcstation
IPC with a Sparcprinter connected to its video port. The NeXTstations do not 
run NetInfo. Usual network applications such as telnet and ftp all work. When
I tried to print from the NeXT to the Sparcprinter, nothing got printed and I
got an error message saying that all or some pages will NOT be printed. 

     Here is what I did on the NeXTstations:

     1) niload printcap / < /etc/printcap
     2) reboot

The printcap on the NeXT is as follows

	lp|sparcprinter:rm=cable:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:

Any idea what the problem is or what I did wrong? Thanks!
