   Yeah.  What he said.

   Generally speaking, the LPR system needs to be talk to the
LPD system if you expect to use it for printing, whether the
LPD system is the printer or some other computer.

   I don't know what "go thru a limited number of server
addresses" means in a situation like this.

   So you say, but "V5.4-15" and "V5.4 - ECO 4" look different
to me, and the latter one tells me more.  It probably doesn't
matter here, but note that you're a few ECOs behind.  Around
here, for example:

alp $ tcpip show version

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.4 - ECO 7
  on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V7.3-2
