I got a masq box which communicates fine both ways. Printer is set up on inside
network as 192.168.1.100 and I can ping it.

1)
I got the following printcap:

smurf:cm=Network Printer smurf
  :lp=smurf.montiehouse.com%9100
  :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
  :ifhp=model=hp2100,status@
  :sh
  :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
  :mx#0

2)
/etc/hosts contains the host-IP reference:
192.168.1.100 smurf.montiehouse.com smurf

3)
I have ifhp installed. When I try to queue a job the following happens:

bash-2.04# lpr -Psmurf printcap
Status Information:
 sending job 'root@mail+118' to smurf@localhost
 connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
 connected to 'localhost'
 requesting printer smurf@localhost
 sending control file 'cfA118mail.montiehouse.com' to smurf@localhost
 error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending file 'cfA118mail.montiehouse.com' to
smurf@localhost
 job 'root@mail+118' transfer to smurf@localhost failed

4)
I got /var/spool/lpd/smurf as 755.

5)
bash-2.04# lpq
Printer: lp@mail  - no spool directory for printer 'lp'
bash-2.04# lpc status all
 Printer           Printing Spooling Jobs  Server Subserver Redirect Status

Help appreciated,
