Howdy guys,
   Wanted to let ya know that this newly installed Sparc4 machine has something
wrong with its access to the local or any printer queue. This used to be a IBM
RS6000 and I think the hostname or hesiod info hasn't been changed since this
baby was installed. 

  On loging on, this message pops up in the console window:

zwgc: unable to resolve hostname, %canon% will be wrong in subscriptions.

and attempts to print either from xterm (even a simple lpr) or from within 
some program (xmh or xrn) gave the same err message, namely:

Printer queue is disabled.


   Would greatly appreciate if you could look into this.

Thanks,

Bilal

p.s. I guess this machine's hostname is now a misnomer... :^)
