I am trying (with no success) to set up a VMS machine running multinet
as a remote printer to an Iris Indigo.  I know it possible to do this
from a unix machine, but I can't figure out how to get the Indigo to
do it.  Has anyone out there in netland done this?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Pat

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.
