Sun 8.0A bug: enscript

Enscript doesn't work under 8.0A on the Sun.  The problem goes
something like this:

> aellwood@safety-pup: enscript -Pnil test.txt
> [ 1 page * 1 copy ] spooled to nil
> /usr/ucb/lpr: nil: unknown printer/class

> aellwood@safety-pup: ls -l /usr/ucb/lpr
> -r-xr-xr-x   1 sys      other      51476 Feb  3  1995 /usr/ucb/lpr*

Is this version of lpr new here?  Enscript apparently looks for it
specifically.

> aellwood@safety-pup: strings /usr/athena/bin/enscript | grep /usr/ucb
> /usr/ucb/lpr

Anyway, at this point it's your call as to what's the right way to fix
it.  :-)
