   Further examination of my lpr problems have turned up 
   some strange results.  

   As root, lptest > /dev/lpt0

   spits out essentially blank pages; it prints one test line
   and quits.  As myself, I run into permission problems.  

   catting a file (  as root  ) to /dev/lpt0  seems to work 
   in very slowmotion which would seem to indicate some screwup
   in the BIOS setup.

   lpq always shows `no entries'.

   The "cannot exevc %s" <filter> string is coming from an execv()
   failure in lpr/lpr/printjob.c,  but that's about it.

   Ideas, printer wizards??

   thanks,

   gary
