This sounds like a problem with lpd.perms.
I suspect this is what you're experiencing:
- lpr -Plp@localhost forces the connection over TCP/IP connection
on localhost address; originating IP is "localhost" and follows
localhost rules
- lpr -Plp uses a unix-domain socket; I'm not sure what originating
IP address is; this may require special permissions in lpd.perms
I can't remember where Patrick injected the unix-domain socket code...it was one of
the later LPRng releases (later than 3.8.10 or so).
I haven't run into this particular error myself, so I can't offer much more insight
than that...
