I had the same problem, too.
lprm can't regonize that the user "spiegl" is a local user because of
a problem with your hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.
If /etc/hostname looks like
your_hostname
then your /etc/hosts file should contain a line like this
<your ip number> your_hostname your_hostname.somewhere.com
The order of the two names in /etc/hosts is very important.
