We have 2 SCO UNIX Open Servers on 2 separate Windows NT networks in Cincinnati & Milwaukee connected by a VPN. I would like to use the serial printers on the Milwaukee server for a application running on the Cincinnati server. I was hoping to set the Milwaukee printers up as lpr's on the Cincinnati box, but when I attempt to do this, it fails with a permission denied. What configuration needs to be changed to allow the Cincinnati Server to "see" and use the Milwaukee printers as Remote LinePrinters?

Check if the Milwaukee server can resolve the IP of the Cincinnati server to a hostname. If you are using unix print services, this is a must.

This had been done with adding routings to both servers to allow them to connect to each other. Turns out the piece I was missing was a patch for lpr that needed to be apllied to the Milwaukee Server.
