You said it. the address root at nova.laic.uucp is nonsense.

create the file /etc/hosts.print. Put a plus sign in it.
	echo "+" >/etc/hosts.print

edit the file /usr/lib/lpd so that "/etc/hosts.equiv" is now "/etc/hosts.print"

Note:
	1) the string is still the same size, but a different value
	2) you need an editor that will let you edit a binary file
	   You can use emacs. Some binary editors appeared in
	   comp.sources. Also - There are some programs that
	   convert od(1) output into binary. convert lpd to ascii,
	   edit, convert back to binary.
