lpd and guest user

Hi all,

How do you get lpd to accept requests from people who do not have local 
accounts?

I've just set up a RH5.2 system to drive one of our line-printers because the 
RH6.2 and 7.* system would not handle printer faults correctly.

Now, with 5.2, paper-outs and jams recover perfectly and automatically - I 
think it's something to do with using a 2.2 kernel and not 2.4.

However, I now with lpd not allowing people to print if they don't have a 
local account.

We have an IBM running AIX which is our main app server and everyone logs in 
on this box.  lpr requests are generated here that are aimed at the RH5.2 
system.
