I haven't setup MLP printing in about a year and I don't remember much
in the way of the specifics of getting the local zone to talk to in.lpd
in the global zone. You might try to connect from local zone to in.lpd
in the global zone via telnet (telnet global-zone-ip 515) just to see if
you can even open the connection. I think that I may still have a
trusted configuration setup on a machine at home to play with. If I get
a chance this weekend, I will take a look.
