Very Computer

I'm aware of the availability of NFS Client software for Windows
platforms and of SMB Server software for AIX platforms but, isofar as I
only need unidirectional printer access, they seem like overkill
solutions.  My thinking is that I should be able to use TCP/IP's LPR
facility.

On the NT Server I 'created' a new printer specifying 'LPR Port' as the
print destination.  When, from the NT Server, I print to the new printer
the job appears to spool and print normally but, on the console of the
AIX machine I recieve a diagnostic, to wit:

"lpd:  erno=13:  The file access permissions do not allow the specified
action"

I have run out of things to try and would appreciate any suggestions.

    1/ checked name resolution (hostname<->IP address<->hostname)
    2/ verified lpd is running on AIX
    3/ checked the NT box's hostname is in hosts.lpd

I use samba on a AIX 4.3 as a printer server voor NT and W95 machines
The only problem i have is that when i use fonts in a document that are
not loaded in the printer i get rubbish and also sometimes picuteres are
not printed correctly.

I print from NT and w95 with the printerdriver for the printer a HP 4 si
and use AIX with a pass through queue to a the HP4 si with a network card
installed.
