I have set up a print server running on a FreeBSD 3.4 machine using lprng 3.7.4.
I have installed lprng on one of our client machine which is running SunOS
4.1.4.  Everything is working fine except for the following problems.

I have set the default printer in the lpd.conf file, but LPRng still sees lp as
the default printer, see below:

bash-2.00$ lpstat -d
system default destination: lp

bash-2.00$ lpq
Printer: lp@hunterston - ERROR: spool queue for 'lp' does not exist on server
hunterston.cam.harlequin.co.uk
   non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f'

I have run checkpc -f and this returns no errors.

I have not defined lp in the printcap file, although the default printer that I
am defining is the first entry in the printcap file.

The other problem when updating the lpd.conf file on the client machine is that
lpc reread does not allow me to reread the config,

[@fin:jameso]# /usr/local/sbin/lpc reread
no permission to control server

I have been playing around trying to fix this with no success and help would be
gratefully received
