There is a version of LPD called PLP4.0 available from
ftp://iona.ie/pub/plp

which has largely eliminate a large number of security holes.
There is a new verion called LPRng which runs as user (no SUID
etc) which does not have ANY of these problems.

If you want,  subscribe to plp@iona.ie mailing list (send mail to
majordomo@iona.ie, with
subscribe plp
in the message body and you will be put on the list
