Ken:

Look in manual page lpd(8) on the ultrix machine.  It describes two
security files one of which must contain the name of the sun 4
machine that you wish to allow print access.  The hosts.equiv is the
more generic file allowing probably more access from the sun than you
would want.  The hosts.lpd file allows ONLY printer access and
nothing more.  See the man pages on either of these two files for
formats.

Another possibility is that you need to run lpc but I doubt it.

Hope this helps,
