network printing



Hi All,
I'm having some trouble getting my printer to work across my network.
The printer works like a champ on the local machine (sendack,
192.168.1.1).  But when I try from the remote machine (derico,
192.168.1.2) nothing happens and when I run lpq I get this:

---------------------------------------
dixon@derico:~$ lpr HelloWorld
dixon@derico:~$ lpq
derico: waiting for queue to be enabled on 192.168.1.1
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    dixon      3    HelloWorld                            21 bytes
2nd    dixon      4    HelloWorld                            21 bytes

/usr/sbin/lpd: lp: Host name for your address (192.168.1.2) unknown
---------------------------------------------------
On 192.168.1.1, sendack, there is this message in
/var/spool/hplj3p/status:
--------------------------------------------------
lp is ready and printing
--------------------------------------------------
so I don't understand why it is waiting for the queue to be enabled.  I
also have 192.168.1.2 resolved to derico in /etc/hosts on both machines
so I don't understand why lp doesn't know the host  name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy
