remote printing: lpr: Connection refused

[Alvin]

Binary package hint: cups

This is what happens when trying to print to a remote server

~$ lpr -H servername -P queuename test.ps
lpr: Connection refused

Using lpr from lprng, remote printing to the same queues works
$ lpr -Pqueuename@servername test.ps
