First is your networking setup. Are you connected to a LAN or directly to the internet? (I guess you must be if you are using MapQuest.) If so, how?
More immediately, how does your system do name-to-address resolution? Does it rely on /etc/hosts? If so, what are the contents of that file? Or does it use a nameserver? If so, is it accessable? And what are the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file?
Does the message really say "local host" rather than "localhost"? What result do you get if (from the command line) you try "ping localhost"?
How is the printer connected to the PC? Parallel port? Something else?
Although your questions involve generic Linux applications, the form of your report is specific to RH 8.0. My questions ask for more generic Linux information, which will permit non-RH users to try to assess your problem. If you prefer to stick with the RH tools, that's fine ... in that case, I hope someone else here, someone who does use RH 8.0, pops in with translations of these suggestions to Red Hat-ese.
Finally, as to your immediate problem ... if the third page of a epecific document continues to fail to print, while other docs print fine (do they? you haven't said), i'd suspect something odd about the specific document. Generically, you need to investigate how general the printing problem is before we can tackle it systematically.

Hello,
After installing RH 8.0 in my HP Pentium II, my first successful installation,
I installed a Brother HL-720 printer. I set it up local. The Printer Administration window shows:
Command: lpr
Driver: Generic Printer (SGENPRT)
Location:
After printing 2 of 3 pages from
Mapquest, the printer indicated toner out. I replaced the cartridge and
there was an error light which can be cleared by unplugging the printer
cable and cycling the printer off. I reset the print queue and the same
2 pages printed and the error light flashed. Rebooted - same error light.
Attempts to print additional items failed. Later I entered "lprm" to cancel anything pending and got
"local host IP not available." When I entered
"/etc/init.d/lpd stop" I got "[FAILED]"
I repeated it and got
"[FAILED]"
"local host IP not available"
In the panel is a ? which when clicked gives
"Temporary error in name resolution."
So far I haven't learned what this IP is about. I would appreciate help.
