Hi there,

remote printer setup error between two OSR5.0.6 severs...
following patches are installed on both servers
rs506a/oss629a/oss635a/oss636a/oss639a/oss640a/oss642a/oss643a/oss645a/oss648a

Here's where we're at...
We can telnet and ftp between each server zan and spr.

The only problem I'm running into is the remote printer setup. I get
this error even when I try using our regular network.

On server zan...
I'm getting an error when I try to access the remote host's printer
info using printer manager.
I get the following error...
Failed to retrieve list of local printers and and their descriptions.

Details on this error are...
zan failed to connect to zan.
Please check the following
*your network configuration
*your network connection
*rhosts permissions on teh remote site
*that scoadmin is installed on the remote site
