I think the handbook chapter on printing covers this in detail. But to be brief, you set up in /etc/printcap on A a printer using the rm: capability (remote machine) and the rp: capability (which port on the remote, or B, machine). On B you use /etc/hosts.lpd to tell lpd (which you run on B too) to accept jobs from A. Printing on B from Netscape on A would be possible if you can give Netscape a print command (I think there's an option for this). Annelise On Thu, 12 Apr 2001, Elliot L.
