On A/UX 2.0
You can run remsh, using cat in the local system and lp through the remote
shell on the system where the printer is connected. Here is an example in
which "mysys" is the host name:
cat file1 | remsh mysys lp
On A/UX 3.0
The operating system recognizes remote printer indications in the file
/etc/printcap. /etc/printcap contains configuration information used by the lpr print spooler. If you plan to connect a printer directly to a remote computer on the network, a user on the local Macintosh can print on that printer by using the -P remotehost option to lpr if the /etc/printcap file on the Macintosh is set up. Edit the file /etc/printcap and find these lines:
# Remote UNIX line printer
# Change 'RemoteHost' to actual name of the remote UNIX host
remote|remote line printer:\\
:lp=:rp=lp:rm=RemoteHost:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/Remote:
Change RemoteHost to the host name of the computer to which the printer is directly connected.
