Umm..  I would think that your server is not set up to allow your
computer to connect to it.

From the 'lpd' man page:

     Access control is provided by two means. First, all requests must
come
     from one of the machines listed in the file /etc/hosts.equiv or
     /etc/hosts.lpd. Second, if the rs capability is specified in the
printcap
     entry for the printer being accessed, lpr requests will only be
honored
     for those users with accounts on the machine with the printer.

However, it's possible/probable that I'm wrong..  

Heh..  I think Ben has a point -- make sure lpd is actually running on
the server..
