I need some serious help with getting Unix 4.2 to do network printing!  I
setup a printer called "test" on a machine called "printman".  I did this
by using the desktop manager by selecting Printer, New, Remote, and then
typing in the printer name as test, selected Other as the printer type,
entered the name printman on the remote system name, and then entered
test as the reference name for the printer, and finally selected BSD as
the remote operating system.  I then clicked on Add and got a verification
that the printer was added.

Then from the printer setup window, I selected Actions, Set Remote Access,
and clicked on the system name, printman, until remote was set to BSD and
then clicked on Save.  

I then sent a print job to the printer (cat /etc/passwd | lpr -d test), and
the job stayed qued up and never went out.  The printer was enabled, and is
accepting requests.  I can ping the machine and it is alive.  We placed a
monitor on the network and can never see any action going on the network when
a request is sent from the 4.2 machine.  The jobs stayed qued up and never
get anywhere.  I have stopped and started the lpscheduler, and the Systems
file in /etc/lp/Systems is correct.  The lpnet log has the following in
it regarding printman:

10/04/93 15:13 c 5429 printman lpd starting (active)
10/04/93 15:13 c 5426 <none> Started child for printman pid = 5429
10/04/93 15:13 c 5422 printman lpd retrying connection to printman

and the last line keeps repeating.

I am able to get print requests from other machine to the 4.2 machine and
out it's printer, but not the 4.2 machine to other printers on other machines.

All help is desperately need and extremely appreciated.
