I always spend hours on lprng (re)configuration (potato lprng 3.6.12-6). If I remember my last problems correctly, I can suggest two things: 1) Check that /etc/lpr.conf has: force_localhost@ 2) Explicitely define default 'lp' printer for different hosts. Eg, I have: lp:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:oh=NET1/24 lp:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:oh=NET2/24 lp:client:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:oh=IP3 -Igor Mozetic
