Thanks, Bernhard! I didn't realize that lpr was buggy in RH6.1. It's not on
their errata page, so I assumed it was OK. I hope others on this list realize
this. Also, RH6.1 did not detect my parallel port. so something is screwed up
with the parport package as well. A fix is to set the alias:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
in /etc/conf.modules, as given by a bug report in the bugzilla system. I would
think this should show up somehow in the errata section as well! Oh, well.
Thanks to those who reposponded! Rawhide rules again...
ciao...
