It seems the reported bug is that you can't print from 5.9-23.
I just upgraded my lpr here to 5.9-23; the server is still running
5.9-20.2 (it's a bo machione). lpr still prints fine.
Perhaps it's a configuration error.
Some excerpts from my printcap below; this is a bit messy because
I'm using a script to do bounce queues, so that I can apply local
filters.
