The output of 'error':

  cat: ./mf.cfg: No such file or directory
  grep: ./mf.cfg: No such file or directory
  can't print PostScript document conforming at level 2.0 files

'output' is empty.

I tried running:

$lpr /home/user/testfile.txt, and got the following:

  Status Information:
   sending job 'user localhost+809' to Printer localhost
   connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
   cannot open connection to localhost - Network is unreachable
  Make sure LPD server is running on the server
  
But lpd is indeed running.  It seems that it may be misconfigured.

I also ran the above with the -D1 debug option and got a page full
of probably useless information.  I can send it if you like.
