Re: lprng

When Carey Evans wrote, I replied:

Thanks for the tip, Corey - I ran checkpc -f and can now print 
simple text (the lpd directory was owned by root, rather than 
lp & the bj10sx directory which hadn't existed is now in place)
but printing a page from netscape or that page saved to a file
from the command line still fails.   Running lpstat shows:

printer lp@nac online. enabled since 13:57:55. available
 Rank    Owner/ID              Class  Job  Files
error   rjw@nac+443                A   443  ERROR: aborting operations
on job rjw@nac+443

Is there a magicfilter setup, or something?   TIA
