That's not a bug; it just means the workstation has no default
printer. The user should use "lpq -Pprintername" to look at specific
print queues. If the workstation is supposed to have a default printer,
the administrator of the workstation should send mail to hesreq@mit.edu
saying what printer the workstation should have as its default.
