I just downloaded the lp daemon (Berkley's public domain) and compiled
it successfully.  However, when I try to run lpd, it failes on
gethostbyname.  I have TCP/IP installed on my system, but I don't have it
linked into my kernel.  I also don't have any of the related setup
files (i.e. hosts, services, etc...).  How can I get lpd to work for
local printing only?  I have no need for network printing.  
I was thinking of just commenting out all the tcp-related calls in
lpd's code.  It'd be a pain... would it work?

Thanks,
Anthony
