I have an old RT running AIX 2.2 which I want to use as an printer
server.  I have a SunOS 4.1 machine as the client.  When I run
lpd -d (for debug) on the RT, I get this message repeated on
the console:

    lpd: Connection opened.
    lpd: received 5 characters... state 0
    lpd: chk_printer, printer lp1
    lpd: chk_printer, pqueue lp1
    lpd: received 32 characters... state1
    lpd: chk_request 209 dfA001geoph-sun-a
    lpd: foreign closed.

Notes:  
    1)  The remote client (the sun) is called geoph-sun-a
    2)  It appears that the client starts talking to the server,
        then gets cutoff.  It retries over and over.

Any suggestions?  Please ?!? 

Thanks,
