Thank you to all of you who responded. The winning answer came from
David Foster. I was missing the /etc/inetd.conf "printer" entry and I
needed to reboot the server (i.e., system1). Note, a "kill -HUP" on inetd
was not good enough - I had to reboot. I would get the following error
message when I just did the "kill -HUP":

inetd[176]: printer/tcp: bind: Address already in use

Thanks again, Steven.
