I'm using 5.2 as well for my print server for four printers.
Yep, I'm sure it's possible to make it work, but with no doc, no
error messages that can be used, and no means of testing, it's not
easy.
I've had no problems. Am using lpr-0.13-1, can't recall if i
upgraded the lpr package, I may have. There is an update for lpr
from redhat: lpr-0.35-0.5.2.i386.rpm. You can get it
from
ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/lpr-0.35-0.5.2.i386.rpm
[root at castor /tmp]# rpm -hiv lpr-0.35-0.5.2.i386.rpm
