[TriLUG] remote printing - I can't get it to work

[Greg Kuhn]

I am not comfortable with broadcasting the results of iptables -L -v to 
the mailing list, I would consider sending it to an individual though. 
Please forgive my stupidity but what output are you looking for from 
lpq. I read the other post that suggested using cups, tried that also. 
When I try to print a test page, nothing prints. When I open the printer 
in cups again it says, printer state:stopped rejecting jobs. Remote host 
did not accept control file(111). Hope this is useful.
