Why is lprm different?

Why is it that I can use lpr and lpq to communicate with a print
server, but not lprm?
That is,
lpr -H 192.168.0.105
works. And
lpq -h 192.168.0.105
works. But
lprm -h 192.168.0.105
comes back with "lprm: Unable to contact server!".

(I'm running SuSE 10.3, in case that matters.)

Hello:

I wonder what "# lpstat -h 192.168.0.105" might produce?

I also wonder if all your above commands use "CUPS"?

Did you recently update your version of CUPS?

Probably because it is lprm -P 192.168.0.105

They have clearly linked to lpr and lpq to the cups lp and lpstat but have
not linked lprm which is a lpd command.
