The concensus was unanimous that the admintool was the easiest means
to configure a remote printer. The lpsystem and lpadmin commands can
be used as well. I have used both to test the installation only to
find that there is still a communications error from the SPARC to the
BSD host of the remote print Q.

SUMMARY: To add a remote printer
>From admintool (/usr/bin/admintool) select edit,add, remote, fill out
the host and printQ and voila its done.
OR
lpsystem <remote host name> # refer to the man page on this
lpadmin -p <printer name> -s <remote host name> -T <unknown> -I <any>
-D <"description">
lpadmin -d <printer name> # to set as your default printer
Also pmadm can be used to verify the port monitor setup for the socket
and service.
Having done all this I still have been unsucessful in sending a job
from the SPARC to the Digital UNIX host (BSD). Does anyone have an
idea as to what is holding up the communications ? How is the
universal system address used in the pmadm command. Should the local
or remote sytem be listed here for the tcp listen service?
Thanks again for the quick responses.
