Pat,

We have a similar setup over here and we use it with no problems.  On the SG side,
you will need the appropriate /etc/printcap entries. For example:
	#
	lp|lw|Hp LaserJet+ on host xyz:\
		:rm=xyz:rp=sys$print:sd=/usr/spool/laser:lp=:

Then use 'lpc restart' to get the printers going on the SG.  Note that you will
need to use lpr to do your printing.

On the VAX side of things, you have to use 'multinet config/printers' and you
will need to use set accept-hosts while in Multinet.  The Multinet docs are pretty
good at going over this.  Have a look through that.

Hope this helps,

Andre.
