What ho!

  I give up!  I mean UNIX is UNIX, right?  Seems not.
I have a plain old Ethernet network comprising HP700's at HP-UX 9.05
Sun Sparc's at SunOS 4.1.3 and others at Solaris 2.3 (patched up to
the eyeballs). The problem?  There are printers connected to the
Sparcs (one on 4.1.3 and one on 2.3) and I can't get the HP's to
print to them. Please e-mail any helpful advice or pointers to FAQ's
(apologies if this a FAQ) to steve_robson@redac.co.uk and thank you
in advance,

Regards,
Steve
