I have a Debian (testing) box which runs LPRng version 3.8.27-1 as its
printer spooler.

I have set up /etc/hosts.lpd and /etc/lprng/lpd.perms so that this box
will handle print-requests from the laptops that are also part of the
home network (the printer is connected to the parallel port of the
Debian box).

This all works great from my own laptop, which also runs Debian. But
there is also an OS X laptop in the house, and print requests from that
machine are refused. The resulting message in /var/log/lpr.log is:

 Service_connection: short request line '^B', from '192.168.1.101 port 836'

Google has not so far turned up anything helpful concerning this, nor what 
I think are the relevant sections of the LPRng Reference Manual.

Has anyone here seen this problem, or does anyone know of a fix? And please don't 
let the fix be `change to CUPS'.

Thanks very much,

Jim
