Check /etc/hosts.lpd.  Is the machine an allowed client address?


If that's not it, replace the lpr service with a hexdump to a file in
/tmp.  Then look at it relative to your knowledge of lpr protocol to
see what it's expecting.

Then write a C program to connect in and spit the same stuff.

That's basically the next couple of steps.
