lpr & localhost problem

[Tomasz Kosinski <mickle@escape.com>]

I have just installed (apt-get install) lprng and magicfilter - woody
system. My printcap file seems ok.

at the command "lpr ~/test" I get the error message:
        Get_local_host: 'localhost' IP address not available! 
and the command is aborted.

I am unable to diagnose this problem and would appreciate any
help. advice or direction.

Thank you,
Tomasz
