(/var/log/cups/errors_log or something). Cups is meant to replace the system lpr binaries, so make sure the = system ones are not being used: %which lpr Should not return a pointer to /usr/sbin (or is it bin), but should = point to /usr/local/sbin. You could also try using apsfilter, a very good printing system that = uses the native lpr stuff. HTH, not enough sleep and too much coffee...
