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.
Thanks
