Debian print server



Hi,

I try to build up a print server "printe" (192.168.1.3) for my little 
local network based on Debian 1.3.1. Using lpd, magicfilter, and 
gs-aladin (plus gsfonts), "wotan-e" (192.168.1.1) should be able to
print a PostScript file to "printe". Local printing on "printe" is fine,
and network services (ping, telnet, ftp) work. But remote printing
just results in:


wotan-e:~> lpr printcap.ps; lpq
wotan-e: waiting for queue to be enabled on 192.168.1.3
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                Total Size
1st    kws        0    printcap.ps                          6557 bytes

printe: /usr/sbin/lpd: ps: Your host does not have line printer access


Yes, I have an /etc/hosts.lpd file (and hosts.equiv, too) allowing 
"wotan-e" access to "printe". My /etc/hosts defines the machines as
shown above. Has anyone (who perhaps managed the setup of a print 
server...) a clue, what is going on here? I'm sure I'm missing 
something... The /etc/printcap files of both machines are shown at the 
end of this post. 

Thanks kws
