Well, the issue is getting compatible client/server programs for your
application. Linux runs lpd/lpr, which requires an answering lpd to work.
If you aren't running lpd on tc4d0, then you either need to get matching
software for the Linux box, or lpd onto tc4d0.

I do not have any recent experience with AT&T Unix, but I would assume
that an lpd emulation would be available, considering that lpd/lpr is the
most common way of printing under Unix these days (heck, even Windows NT
has lpd/lpr capabilities!).

Anyone else here on the list who has dealt with printing under AT&T Unix?
