Description:
If you are on a host named "host-a" on network A, which is also
attached to network B and known as "host-b" on network B, and
the system the printer is on is attached to network B, lpr will
spool files to the printer and say they came from "host-a". If
you then try to do lprm, the remote printer system will look up
your Internet address and determine that your are on "host-b"
and therefore won't let you remove the job because "host-a" !=
"host-b", even though they are the same physical host.
Repeat-By:
See above.
