Well, I investigated a little further. Another list reader pointed me to the fact that there might be a newer version available. I took a look, and I was using lpr_5.9-13 and a lpr_5.9-13.1 was available. FTP'd it, unpacked, still same problem. So I grabbed the source, and diff files. It appears that a problem with 'canonizing hostname' (whatever that means?) was fixed in July, and the most recent release fixes a buffer overflow security bug. At any rate, I'm still in the dark. My problem, for those who havent followed is the following error: lpr: unable to get official name for local machine Any help is still appreciated.
