So the lpr package is not installed on your system? If not the only other thing I can recommend is shutting down all services on your system one by one untill the message flood stops. (tip: run tail -f /var/log/syslog in one terminal and stop the services from another terminal.) That way you can at least track down the culprit. Just in case: stopping services can be done by executing (as root) the scripts in /etc/init.d/ with the parameter "stop". E.g. to stop the lp daemon that caused the problem on my box I used: # ps -ef | grep lp # to see if the service is running # /etc/init.d/lpr stop The "catch" is that the daemon is (was) called lpd while the init script was named after the package: lpr.
