[ILUG] remote print failure

[Dave Rynne]

)       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

You want to upgrade the package -- not install over the existing one.

Try rpm -Uvh lpr-0.35-0.5.2.i386.rpm
