Ok, as I'm a dumb User I use the SuSE-Toy called Yast. Choose the
Printing over Network, to a LPD-Server. I choose my Printer (here a
Postscript-Level1-Printer),
set the Remote-Server an the Printer-Name on the Remoteserver und try to
print a Test-Page. On the Cups-Server there is no Error, but in the
Messages of the LPD-Server I found the following:

Apr 10 13:51:49 b-fs /usr/uti/lib/lpd[500]: From_host: from port 51227, max is 1023
Apr 10 13:51:49 b-fs /usr/uti/lib/lpd[500]: lpd: From_host failed - No child processes 

Whats the Problem on the LPR-Side?
In The Cups-Messages on the Cups-Server theres the Message "Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd", so I think that the LPD-Backend is used.

Regards

Daniel
