Two things must be done to allow printing through Multinet.  First,
Multinet must be set to allow printing from the remote machines.  I think
that this is done using 'multinet config/server' (see chapter 8 of the
Administrators Guide).  Then, the SGI must have a remote printer defined.
The queue must be a BSD queue (lpd).  See the man page on lpd and printcap
for setting this up.
