Package: lprng
Version: 3.8.A~rc2-1

I upgraded from 3.8.28dfsg.1-1.1 and lost network printing;
netstat -a | grep print gives no output.

To recover I did
apt-get install lprng/stable

Now I see lpd listening on port 515.
I didn't see anything in the changelog that could account for this?

Indeed lprng 3.8.A~rc2-1 comes build with --disable-remote which
disables listening on port 515 by default. You have to enable it
again with setting

lpd_listen_port=515

in lpd.conf to get it back.

Craig, it looks like the Debian lprng package does not even contain the
ChangeLog file, but only the old CHANGES files shipped as changelog.gz

Hochachtungsvoll,

I'll add that second changelog file in. I actually though the tcp port
listening was disabled already. Now I see it wasn't but the lpd.perms
as shipped is what stopped remote access.

Yes, there should be something mentioned.
