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.
