[ale] Remote printing

Nothing in messages on either machine. Here's my printcap on the remote
machine:
lp|hpdj:\
        :lp=:\
        :rm=tyrone:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw_dj:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/raw_dj/errs:\
        :sh:

and the printcap on the printer server:
lp|hpdj:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw_dj:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/raw_dj/errs:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:

All that happens is that whatever I print gets queued up on the remote
machine and lpc stat tells me "waiting for queue to be enabled on
tyrone" so it knows it has to go over to tyrone, but it seems that
tyrone doesn't know it's supposed to be waiting for/accepting requests
from another machine.
If I can just get rsh to send a command, I think I would be okay, but I
get "permission denied" on the this box, and the tyrone shows 
"cmd='ls'; Permission denied." in /var/adm/messages.
