Hello,

I installed debian and it doesn't print. The printcap file is unchanged
and looks allright.  The machine prints with Red Hat, so 
it isn't hardware.  The message I get is

    lpr: unable to get official name for local machine

If I enter 

	hostname

I get the hostname (debian).  When I

    cat printcap > /dev/lp1

it prints. When I do

	lpc status 

I get 

	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	no entries
	no daemon present

When I do

	ps -aux | grep lpd

I see the lpd as a process.

Can anyone explain

    1.  what the error message means and why lpr doesn't work?
    2.  why does lpc report no daemon is present when lpd is running?

Thanks in advance
