I am assuming that you have the DECserver port configured correctly
as you can printto it from a VMS host.  

1. Edit /etc/rc.local ...  your lcp line which looks like this:

        /etc/lcp -s & echo -n ' lat'    >/dev/console

Should look like this:

        /etc/lcp -s -h /dev/ttyXX & echo -n ' lat'    >/dev/console


(ttyXX should be replaced with whatever terminal port on your machine
you are using.)

2. Edit /dev/ttys to make sure nothing is running on ttyXX

	ttyXX	"/etc/getty 2" vt100	off nomodem


3. kill -1 1   to goose (technical term... sorry can't explain it) the
	init process

4. Edit printcap.  For example:

lp3|ln03|laser printer on LAT:\
	:fc#0177777:fs#023:lp=/dev/ttyXX:\
	:op=PORT_11:ts=LAT_xxxxxxxxxx:\
	:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:sd=/usr/spool/lp3:

In place of the 'xxxxxxxxxxx' insert the ethernet hardware addresses
of the DECserver.  In place of PORT_11 use whatever port it is
connected to (EG, PORT_6, PORT_1....)

5. mkdir /usr/spool/lp3

This *should* work.
