by lpr and/or lpd mysteriously stopped working. I'm not sure why, as I haven't
tried printing for a couple of weeks. I upgraded to Xfree 3.3.2 today,
libc 5.4.44 a while back. Have tried kernels 2.0.34 and 2.1.108. Yes, lpd
is running, and I know about the switch from lp1 to lp0. I can cat something
to the printer, and also read back
CODE=10001
DISPLAY=PRINTER READY
I did a strace of an lpr command and got this: [abbreviated]
