I sent this to OLC, but perhaps someone else can help:


I just installed the new version of Athena (8.13).  It seems OK except
when I try to print a piece of mail (in exmh), I get:

Messages generated when printing you message:

Status Information:
 sending job 'rar@rar+697' to spgport@localhost
 connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
 cannot open connection to localhost - Cannot assign requested address
Make sure LPD server is running on the server
 job 'rar@rar+697' transfer to spgport@localhost failed.

My printcap file reads:

# Jeff's Printcap for W91

What do I need to change to get things to work again?

Thanks.

Roger
