I've got this setup at work (although it's more complex there because I pipe
my main printer output through two filters before sending it to the printer).
I assume you have printing working fine on the Debian box? Then I think all
you need to do on the Debian box is to add in the allowed hosts to
/etc/lpd.hosts.
On the AIX box, run smitty, then "print spooling", "add a print queue",
"remote", "standard", then fill in the blanks:
name of queue (what you want it called on the AIX box)
hostname (debian box name)
name of queue on remote server (lp normally - look in /etc/printcap)
type of print spooler on remote server (BSD)
