Good Morning
I have recently upgrade to RH8 after using 7.1. I cannot get my printer
to work. I get an error message

Get_local_host: hostname 'x1-6-00-01-29-16-3b-d0' bad

when trying lp abc. I get the same message when using the redhat printer
configuration tool. This hostname looks similar to the output of
ifconfig for the HW addr.

 [Dennis@x1-6-00-01-29-16-3b-d0 test2]$ /sbin/ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:29:16:3B:D0
          inet addr:65.35.242.254 Bcast:255.255.255.255
Mask:255.255.248.0

Its also in the header of my Konsole window and in my prompt.
I have changed the printer perms to default accept, but no help
Where do I go to change the setting to fix this?
Thanks
Dennis
