I understand how I can set up a PI to print across the net on to a printer
which is connected (Physically) to another PI. 

Now what I am trying to do is that I need to access a Postscript printer
that is physically connected to a SUN Workstation and not a PI. 
Well, for any other SUN Workstation to access a printer connected to another
SUN Workstation I need to have the printcap file properly set. But in case 
of PIs I am not sure how it is done since the lp deamon does not seem to read
a printcap file (or am I wrong?). 
The mknetpr needs addclient to be executed on the remote machine which has 
the printer connected to it. On SUNs they don't  seem to have anything like
addclient program (or do they?).

In any case I am stuck right now and it would be really great if I can get 
my PI to print across the net on to a printer connected to a SUN.

Thanking in advance.
