network printer issue



     Please help-
     
     I finally acquired a printer.  I have two machines on a home network 
     running Slackware 4.0.  The remote machine can not print.
     
     NewBox has the printer connected to it and prints OK.  Happy is 
     remote, and is spooling the file and waiting for the other machine to 
     come up.  The other machine is up.  I am able to telnet and FTP 
     between the two machines.  What am I missing?

     On NewBox:
     NewBox# cat /etc/services | grep print
     printer 515/tcp         spooler         # line printer spooler
     
     NewBox# cat /var/spool/lpd/status
     lp is ready and printing
     
     On Happy:
     happy# cat /var/spool/lpd/status
     waiting for NewBox to come up
     
     happy# cat /etc/printcat
     # Remote printer
     lp:rm=NewBox
     
     Thank you,
     Peter
