LPR is a binary and so the output here is unexpected (as they look more
like script errors).
bash-2.05b$ lpr test.txt
/usr/bin/lpr: line 12: */5: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/lpr: line 15: 0: command not found
/usr/bin/lpr: line 18: 1: command not found
/usr/bin/lpr: line 19: 15: command not found
/usr/bin/lpr: line 20: 30: command not found
/usr/bin/lpr: line 25: 1,31: command not found
/usr/bin/lpr: line 28: 1: command not found
I'm thinking that /usr/bin/lpr must be corrupted. I'm not
sure how to go about testing that theory, or what to do
if that is the case. I've searched the list archives and
googled to no avail.
If you want to reinstall the lpr binary, you can either go through a make
installworld process or install the binary on it's own by going into
/usr/src/usr/sbin/lpr and doing a 'make install'. That will recompile and
reinstall lpr.
Yes, that fixed it. I did a stupid thing while root and hosed the lpr file.
Thanks.
