Network: how can I set up remote printing (sid/lpr)



In my high school classroom we have a small network of four linux boxen, with private block ip addresses (our Public School System domain is in a private block), with one printer.  I have been able to ftp/telnet between my own boxen, but I am unskilled so don't know how much I can do with/among my colleagues who are running Windoze.  I wonder about security, but I think we are ok to at least share one printer via our "Internet" non-internet network.   

In my room I want to print to my printer from any of my machines.   I have tried the scant instructions in the Linux Printing-HOWTO, and I have attempted to follow instructions on the debian lists.  When testing remote printing, the file is spooled, but 

mhs49:/home/adavis# lpc stat 
lp:
          queuing is enabled
          printing is enabled
          11 entiries in spool area
          waiting for queue to be enabled on mhs46.      

/etc/hosts.equiv on mhs46 (the server).  

Is there some clear instruction somewhere on how to do this.  I can write a short HOWTO if 
I can figure this out.  

TIA and Thanks for many previous helps,

Alan Davis
