After downloading and compiling 3.8.6. I received the following message

Recompile without -DGETENV or do not run clients as ROOT
So as others have pointed out you need to modify src/Makefile and comment
out CFLAGS:= $(CFLAGS) -DGETENV=\"1\" -Wall -Werror or change it to
CFLAGS:= $(CFLAGS) -DGETENV=\"0\" -Wall -Werror. This allows the daemon
to start but files are not being delivered to the printers. checkpc
reports no errors in printcap and I am using the same printcap from 3.7.4.
I have had the same problem with lpd in Solaris 8 & RedHat 7.2. I set up
a queue that prints to a file and nothing is being delivered. I am
receiving this in the system logs
test-queue: Check_for_missing files: missing data file
