It first occured, when I upgraded the box with the printer attached to it to potato, while the other one is still slink. I suppose the problem has something to do with host authentication, which has been thightened in the lpr-version in potato. But I couldn't figure it out (tried everything with /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny, /etc/hosts.lpd and so on) up to now. Hope someone knows the answer. Regards, Daniel
