Since this thread doesn't have all the information in it, I can't
recall which IP address goes with what system or printer.  :-(

The best I can interpret the above is, you ping the printerserver 
by name and ping displays the host name ("printerserver") and it's
IP address (10.1.1.10) *as configured on the VMS system*.  And
you get no response.

But ping to the imacg5 displays the imac's host name ("imacg5") and 
it's IP address (10.1.1.3) *as configured on the VMS system*.

What does ping from the imacg5 to the printerserver show for
the printerserver's IP address?
