lpd can't find the printcap file for your host. lpd expects to find a
/usr/spool/lpd/printcap.<hostname> where <hostname> is the hostname
of your machine.
I am not conviced that this is the problem. I am recieving the same error but have my printcap file as you specify:
# /usr/lib/lpd
Std_environ: host entry for '' not found at Sun Nov 29 17:57:16 1992
# ls -l
total 18
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 381 Nov 29 17:49 printcap.mobius

# hostname
mobius
# pwd
/usr/spool/lpd
#
It seems to me that plp is having a problem finding out what the
hostname is, explaining the:
"host entry for '' not found"
opposed to the expected:
"host entry for 'mobius' not found"
Anyone else with ideas on how to fix this?
