Remote printing from HP to SUN

[Daniel Huber]

Hello

I try to setup remote printing over TCP/IP from HP Workstations
(HP9000/835, HP9000/3xx) with HP-UX 7.0 to a SUN Server
(SparcServer/490, also to a SUN3) with SunOS4.1.1.

This works fine. I only had to specify the option -ob3 on HP's
LP-spooling (lpadmin, install the printer) to enable 3 digit BSD 
requests.

The printers print really out, what I send them, but Sun's daemon
likes to send me a message:

------------------------------------------

>From daemon Wed Feb 27 12:53:29 1991

------------------------------------------

Again: The printer prints out the file. 
However I get this message above (or similar :-) each time I print 
something.

This only happens printing from HP to Sun.

Aditional informations:
- "rs" is NOT defined in Sun's /etc/printcap.
  ps3:\
	lp=:rm=sun3:rp=ps3:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/error_log:
- mail notification is NOT defined, wheter in the interface script
  (HP) nor in the print command.
- If I define the -ob3 option, I get the mail, If I do not define the
  -ob option, the printfile is copied to the spool directory on the Sun,
  but not printed out!

What can I do to stop this mailing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Daniel
