hi,

lpr seems to not exist:

-bash-3.00$ env |grep HOST
HOSTNAME=login04.hep.wisc.edu

-bash-3.00$ which lpr

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,
