Remote printing -- BSD to SYSV

[Jeffrey Kowalski]

Is is possible to remote print to a SYSV printer from a BSD printer?
My BSD printcap is something like
	foo|Foo Printer on the Iris:\
		lp=:rm=butternut:rp=decwr1:

butternut is a Silicon Graphics Iris 4D running SYSV.
It's got a printer that's named (over there) "decwr1" as shown
by a 'lpstat -p'
I've modified the /etc/hosts.equiv on butternut to include
my BSD machine (acacia) that's got the virtual printer foo.
After an "lpr -Pfoo junk.txt", a "lpq -Pfoo" gives
]connection to butternut is down

So, there you have it.  What gives?
