Original Post:
I'm logged into Chern and try to print something to the printer on
Bourbaki. Nothing happens, so I do an "lpq", which says:
bourbaki.msri.org: /usr/lib/lpd: Your host does not have line printer access
chern.msri.org: waiting for queue to be enabled on bourbaki.msri.org

Solution:
I received four quick replies, all telling me to add "chern" to my
/etc/hosts.lpd file. This only added to my confusion, since I'm not
using a /etc/hosts.lpd file.
However, Carol (carol@newton.aero.org) mentioned that, regardless of
whether I'm using hosts.equiv or hosts.lpd, I must use EXACT filenames
and no aliases. I checked the hosts.equiv file on the printserver,
and I found:
chern.msri.org chern
foo.msri.org
bar.msri.org
...
Chern was the only host with an additional alias, therefore Chern was
the only host that wasn't printing properly. Thanks to all who replied.
