Printer serving...

Since we have had several posts about printing from/to A/UX
machines, I thought I'd throw my questions in and keep the ball
rolling a little longer.
I have setup A/UX so that it connect to three LW. Printing from
A/UX seems to work fine. I've printed to all of the printers via
"lpr -Pprinter" and all my jobs were printed as expected. Then I
decided to have the Sparc use the A/UX machine as a remote
printer.
I went through and setup the hosts.lpd file so that access was
allowed to the Sparc. I setup the Sparc's printcap file to use
the A/UX machine as the remote machine (rm=auxserve). After I
thought everything was setup properly, I tried to print from the
Sparc and nothing came out. I checked the printer que on the
Sparc with "lpq" and this is what I received...
aux: /usr/lib/lpd: iw: Your host does not have line printer access
sparc: waiting for queue to be enabled on aux
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st root 400 printcap 906 bytes
I guess I must have missed something somewhere, but I can't seem
to find it. Anyone have any ideas?
