Spooling on the local machine works fine but the print job is never sent to the printer host. I alway get messages like 'bfp2.bfp.de: waiting for queue to be enabled on ns.gds.de' or 'ns.gds.de: lpd: Your host does not have line printer access.' Printing and spooling on ns.gds.de works. Have I to tell the host which other hosts are allowed to use the printer? Or what else is wrong here?
