Oops.  I was just about to send mail explaining the changeover; sorry
for the delay.

With the 8.1 print software updates, we now support printing to a
networked printer using 'mkserv print'; most of the things 'mkserv
opprint' is trying to get aren't useful except on ASO's print
servers.  If you run, on the server:

	mkserv -opprint
	mkserv print

this should fix the complaints you're getting from mkserv.
