Thanks to all who responded to the newsgroup or directly be e-mail.
Having followed the instructions in the manual, the one extra thing that needed
to be done, was to check that daemon had access to the tty file used in /dev 
(e.g. /dev/tty03) to make the connection to the decserver. In /etc/rc.local
we have an entry /etc/lcp -s -h /dev/tty03 and in /etc/printcap there must be
an entry for the name of the decserver and the name of the port on the 
decserver that is used. e.g. :ts=DSB: :op=PORT_2: 

After /etc/printcap has been modified, the printer daemon lpd has to be killed
and restarted. 
				
Thanks to all who helped sort out the problem.
