I've got two different printer definitions set up for the queue on roadrunner:
One is using samba, and the other uses lpr.  Both are failing with the same
error.  (My /etc/printcap is attached.  I had to go through a rather
convoluted process to get it attached.  Rest assured that it is not called
printcap.txt on my machine.)

When I try to print, I get the following message:

[tcooper marvin tcooper]$ lpr -Plp0 test.txt
lpr: connect: Connection refused

[tcooper marvin tcooper]$ lpq -Plp0

I'm really confused by this behavior.  Can anyone help?

Thanks !
