I'm trying to print from a printer that is connected to my other computer. Though my other computer is setup with CUPS, I thought this wouldn't be a problem be cause of the "cups-lpd" compatibility layer. However whenever I attempt to directly to the printer I get this error message:

Does anyone have any idea?

Hello ormris,
thanks from your nice problem report but please add always
the version of lpr you are using. (and in this case also the cups version).
back to your Question:
ACK_STOP_Q 1 means jobs failed; no spooling to the remote queue
(from LPRng-HOWTO)
the problem is that can have several reason,
* do cups actualy have an printer "lp" ?
* do your cups require authentication ?
Thanks for the reply! I was acually able to fix the issue. The IP address in my /etc/printcap was one number off. :)
thx for info :)
i guess we should work on the errormessage.
