Ok, I created the file, and then ran /etc/init.d/lprng restart.  I'm
still getting the connect errors.  Here is the exact error:
no connect permissions
job <job name> tranfer to hpdj672c@192.168.1.1 failed

This error came from netscape.  I tried to print from xemacs, but
nothing came out.  I can't find an error in any of the logs I looked
at, but I'm not overly sure where that kind of error would be logged. 

Anyway, does lprng work differently from lpd in the lpr package?  Or is
there something that I"m missing here?

Thanks,

Chris

P.S.

Here is my /etc/printcap file on the linux box I'm trying to print from.
