Hi - 

Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

We've got serveral lat attached ln03 printers on our ethernet. They all work
fine from VMS. I've got several of them working fine from ULTRIX... I've just
done exactly what it says to do in "Guide to Ethernet Communication Services".

One in particular just won't work for me. Everytime I try to print anything
there, all I get is another...

/usr/lib/lpd: vaxsys: cannot open /dev/tty45

...in the lf file.

I've got the right stuff in /etc/ttys.
The permissions on /dev/tty45 look the same as those on tty's where other
ln03s are attached.
The printcap entry looks like the ones for printers that work.
I've swapped to other ttys.
I've done the lcp stuff.
I've had the network services guys (the folks here responsible for hardware)
to look into it, they say everything looks fine.
I've danced on one foot while chanting a mantra.

What next?

Thanks for any hints...
