From klee.mit.edu, the workstation in my office (E40-342D), I tried
to print a mail message on 'nil' using:

show cur | lpr -Pnil

I got a sequence of error messages:

Lost connection to printer....
Lost connection to printer....
Lost connection to printer....
Lost connection to printer....

and had to cancel the 'lpr' command with CTRL-c.  I tried to print
on 'calvin' with:

show cur | lpr -Pcalvin

and got a different error:

Lost connection to printer....
Remote printer does not support kerberos authentication
Try again using the -u option

I tried using '-u'

 show cur | lpr -Pcalvin -u

and got a sequence of:

Lost connection to printer....
Lost connection to printer....

which, again, I had to cancel with CTRL-C.  I tried printing on
the 'ajax' printer in W20, and it worked fine:

show  cur | lpr -Pajax


returned a prompt (i.e., no error message).

It doesn't seem relevant, but in case it is, my kerberos tickets
looked fine:
