However if you try to start up PPR's lpr server (so that PPR can server remote lpr clients), you will have problems such stock lpr dies if it can't bind to the lpr port. The lpd man page says that you can change the port it runs on, but this is unimplemented in the actual code. It would be nice if this were patched in the major Linux distributions.
