Thanks, I'll try that first.

Sorry, that was the case and I should've made it clearer in my post.
Finne suggested using cups, but I got the libssl.so error message 
when I tried to start it.  Then I discovered the same thing happened
when I switched back to lpr and restarted that.

I'll need to recheck that actually.  The printer is local and my
machine name is rgveda.localdomain.  It's no longer networked to my
sister's computer but I might have done something with the
configuration and then forgot about it.
