Sorry, LPRng got blown away during the yum debacle (caused by the
krb5 to SLAC problem) and I didn't notice it.

It's back now--at least on loginXX and g3n03.  If there are others
(your desktop??) please write back.

there seems to be no symlink where one might be expected for lpr:

i tried another host also with the same result -- what is the
recommended method of printing these days? the hep computing 
web page recommends lpr at http://www.hep.wisc.edu/computing/printing.html

thanks,
