Network printing problem

I am running a net work where the one machine (gandalf) is the NIS server and
has the printer for the network on it. It is also running samba to share a
public dir and the printer with my daughter's laptop (which runs windows xp).
I have 2 other RH 8.0 machines on the network (strider & my laptop). Neither
one can print to the printer on gandalf. After adding the printer on strider,
when I execute "lpq" I see:
Printer: lp at strider (dest lp at gandalf.smacchia.net)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
no connect permissions
Note the "no connect permissions". If I try and print, I see the following
after executing "lpq":
Printer: lp at strider (dest lp at gandalf.smacchia.net)
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 12705 active
Unspooler: pid 12737 active
Status: IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'closed *main::KID3' at
14:52:46.116
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
active(attempt-2) root at strider+704 A 704 /usr/share/printconf 18052 14:52:16
What is up with the Status line here?
Eventually the jop shows up as:
Printer: lp at strider (dest lp at gandalf.smacchia.net)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Status: keeping error job 'root at strider+704' at 14:53:44.551
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
error root at strider+704 A 704 ERROR: job removal requested
no connect permissions
I've got the same configuration at work with not problems. So I am puzzled.
Here is the printcap entry on strider:
lp:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\
:sh:\
:rm=gandalf.smacchia.net:\
:rp=lp:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
And the one on gandalf (the server):
lp:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
Does anyone have any ideas? TIA
