Getting LPRng to work

[Ken Heard <ken@heard.name>]

	One of my current tasks in upgrading from RH 8 to Sarge, which began 
last July, is to enable printing using LPRng.  After installing the 
lprng package, I open "Printing Manager" from the KDE menu.  The 
resulting window indicates that I am using the LPR/LPRng printing system 
  with the LPR spooler type.

	However, when I click on the "Add" menu, only one of the two options is 
open to me: "Add Special (pseudo) printer...".  The option which I think 
I should want, "Add Printer/Class..." is shaded and consequently cannot 
be opened.

	So, my questions are: how do I add my actual printer to the list of 
pseudo printers which already appear in the Printing Manager list, and 
how do I configure it?

	When installing the lprng package, I did notice the following comment: 
"SOL Get_local_host: 'localhost' IP address not available!"  Does this 
comment have any relevance?  Running "cat /etc/hosts" returns the 
following: "127.0.0.1  SOL.localdomain  SOL  SOL"
