   I'm using 5.2 as well for my print server for four printers.
   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

   This _may_ help.
