Are these 4 systems running as a TCF cluster?? Because that's what the names
in the qconfig files are used for, its not something like specifying a remote
host name. If you are just running 4 sites on an ethernet without TCF then
what you must do is use the "remote back end" on the client and the server
with the printer must be running lpd. I belive the remote back end is called
/etc/lprbe, you must configure qconfig to call this on the client. Its been
a while, but I know this can be made to work. Good Luck.
