Subject: [9fans] lp doesn't work after upgrade from downloaded cd image

After upgrade from a recent cd image lp fails; printing is normal on win95
My system is a standalone pc.

after
cat foo| lp
the print light blinks , as if to start printing ,but quits after about a
second and goes back to standby.
I can print this way:
cat foo| lp -dstdout > /dev/lpt1data

but the result is the intended file along with a spurious page.

Nothing was written to log , prob, tmp, or queue in /sys/lib/lp

lp -d'?' lists the printer.

Guidance valued-

-Tom
