Remote Printing Problem

[Gavin Grabias <gaving@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
First let me give you the specs of my box.  Slack 7.1 with GS 6.01 and
apsfilter 5.4.2.  I print to a remote box and get this error message.  Its
a PS printer.

Cannot get the spooling directory.
Fix your lpd or stop printing to remote printers directly.

/etc/printcap

### Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
### Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
### Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
###
### This file can be edited with printerdrake or printtool.
