Well, I figured it out and want to share my success!
It turns out that on RH8.0, the default in /etc/lpd.perms is
# allow local job submissions only
REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER
Bingo! comment out the above line, restart lpd on all systems and there you
are.
Thanks for all the pointers everyone,

Have you run the checkpc command? That should check your lpr configuration to
see if anything is obviously incorrect.

Yes I am using LPRng. I looked at /etc/lpd.perms and DEFAULT ACCEPT is the
last line. I looked on the RH website and read everything I could and have
added /etc/hosts.lpd to list all of the hosts that will print. Restarted lpd
on all systems, and still the same "no connect permissions". I just
Are you using LPRng? If so, have you looked at /etc/lpd.perms?
Here is all I have in mind:
DEFAULT ACCEPT

Ok, so I tried removing the filter on strider (remember gandalf has the
printer, strider is a client trying to print to gandalf's printer; both run RH
8.0). And I still see the same result.
The printcap now looks like:
lp:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
I would wonder if you are trying to filter the job twice, once on the client
and once on the server.
I don't know which printing software you are using. LPRng has lpd.perms
which controls who can and cannot access the printing software.
