Well, that would be very much a surprise to me as my own system tells me
this:

$ dpkg -l lprng

ii  lprng          3.8.15-1       lpr/lpd printer spooling system

and

$ lpd -V
LPRng-3.8.15, Copyright 1988-2002 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I double-checked, but I didn't accidentally install any CUPS components
next to lprng either.

I did sanitize the hostname in the loglines I sent (there have been
people calling me paranoid }:-), but that's the only thing I did change.
What is weird about them that they make you think they are from CUPS?

The remote Solaris host these loglines came from has the default Sun lpd
implementation for Solaris 8.0 installed (I don't know what daemon that
actually is). But, since the connections are coming from my system I
don't suppose that's where the problem lies. My logs don't show any
error messages during printing as far as I can see. I wouldn't even have
known about the problem if the admin of the print server hadn't asked me
what I was doing (the printing itself is flawless).

Thanks for the offer, I will do that if the problem proves to be too
difficult to solve with the help of this list. Due to the large
timezone difference and the non-urgent nature of the problem I prefer
to use the list before bothering you. (I know... I am one of those
old-fashioned nettiquette guys <g>).

Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,

HdV
