We have PC-NFS running on an SGI machine with a couple of printers
hooked up to PCs. Printing to one of them works fine, but attempts
to print to the other one result in jobs stacking up in the spool
directory. The jobs are apparently getting to the SGI, but they are
not being sent to the PC with the printer hooked up to it. As far
as I can tell, everything is set up the same for the two PCs
(i.e. entries in /etc/printcap are correct and PCNFSLPD running
on the PC). Any ideas as to what is happening? We really need
this second printer to work.

And while I'm asking printing questions regarding PC-NFS... is it
possible to use lp to print to these PCs from the SGI machine? I
have lpr set up and it works, but was wondering if the other would
work as well.
