LPD printing issue  
Hi all,
i'm trying to print using LPD with a network printer but i can't succeed with it.
I'm using a Tally Dascomm 2600+ printer and i've tried to search on the documentation but i can't manage the 
communication between my target and the printer.

Here my printcap file:
rlpt3:\
:lp=rlpt3:\
:rm=10.6.2.210:\
:rp=rlpt3:\
:sd=/usr/spool/output/lpd/rlpt3:mx#0:sh:

i've inserted the printer in my host file and host.lpd file 

I can start the LPD daemon and it find the printer but when i try to start everything with "lprc start all" command i 
always get this message:

lpd: þ8%Hþ8ÈHø þ2»°þ8%H: Your host localhost.localdomain does not have line printer access
        couldn't start daemon

this series of characters is something strange "þ8%Hþ8ÈHø þ2»°þ8%H" 
but i can't figure out how to solve it and how to manage a correct communication with the printer.

If someone has some indication on what i'm missing it would be great.

Thanks,

Andrea
