Remote Printing using LP

After reading and rereading the documentation I am at a loss.

I am running Unix SYSV on an AT&T 386 and would like to be able
to print from a remote site.  The idea being that when I call up
system X and request a report, system X should dial me back on another
line and connect to the modem which is hooked up to a printer.  

Entries have been made in Systems at the host sight, and a printer
has been set up according to the Operations/System Admin Guide.  
	(i.e. /usr/lip/lpadmin -p printername -A write -U dialer-entry).

I am able to access this printer through cu, however using
             "lp -d printername"
returns a result of unable to access device.  lpstat reports that the
job is in queue with a printer fault.
