Hi all,

i want to print to an Colorprinter which is connected on a HP-Maschine. The
printcap: ptk|lp5:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lp/acct.ptk:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp/err.ptk:\
        :lp=:\
        :mx#0:\
        :rm=hp.mpe-garching.mpg.de:\
        :rp=ptk:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ptk:

When i want to print a file on this printer i got following message on my alpha:waiting for hp.mpe-garching.mpg.de to come up

I could login via telnet on this machine or vice versa.

The OSF-Maschine is running OSF3.2 . From other OSF-Machines running V3.0 there
is no problem.

I assume this is a problem with BSD or not BSD Style.
There is no printcap on the HP-Machines. Is there any file to change?

                        Thanks, H. Baumgartner
