RE: Remote printing from a Solaris box to a remote Debian-CUPS server
Try
man cups-lpd
It suggests adding something like
printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd
-o document-format=application/octet-stream
to /etc/inetd.conf
Be sure to reload inetd after adding that /etc/init.d/inetd reload

However, I found nothing adequate in the Debian distribution.
I am aware that my problem is not an all day issue, but maybe someone of
this list has had the same idea and knows more about this subject. Please
