(Sorry, should have mentioned what we'd done...)

Yes, lpr on A works, lpr on B works (sending to A),
lpr on any other workstation works (sending to A via
B). It's just this one machine. Spool directory
appears to exist on all machines.

Matter of fact, we've always had weird problems with
this machine - the main ongoing problem is that B
refuses to masquerade it... packets from C appear (to
A) to be coming from C, they're not being rewritten by
B. However, this appears to be not (quite) related
since it should be lpd on B that makes the final
request...

Naturally this masquerading problem affects any
network access from C. Yuck.
