Well, it works just fine here from 5.9-20.2 (client) to 5.9-20 (server),
and from 5.9-21 to 5.9-20 too. But the bug report talks about printing
from DOS software. But

This could be a telltale sign. Perhaps the original reporter had
other lpr problems and it just seemed to be a remote printing
problem?

I think one of my machines has an lpr installed on DOS, I will check
it out (but it's not the same implementation mentioned in the bug report).
