I am trying to allow several Unix boxes to print on a LaserJet IIIsi that is
attached to a VAX running CMUTEK TCP/IP v6.6-5 (not A yet).  It appears to
work very well from a Sparcstation 1 (SUNOS 4.1.2) but attempts to print from
an HP 9000/730 (HP-UX 8.05) have failed miserably.  Attached below is a copy
of the LPD log file showing the two jobs - one that succeeded from the sun
(system sunrise.byu.edu) and the one that failed from the HP (system
dirac.byu.edu).  The primary difference is that one is running the BSD
queueing system (lpd, on the sun) and one is running the newer lp queueing
system (on the HP) but I can't pin down exactly what is going on here.  If
it will help any, after the job from the HP dies, it leaves the data file
behind in the spooling directory, but the control file is not there any more.
The error message in the log file is the same as that recorded in the accounting
files for the termination of this process.

Also, I would really like to be able to specify a VAX form name for the jobs
since the printer is routinely switched between PCL, HPGL, and POSTSCRIPT
modes using VAX forms and I would like to provide the same capability to
the Unix boxes, even if I have to feed several different Unix queues into
the same VAX queue so the qualifiers get set right.

Any help on how to get this running will be greatly appreciated.
