[SOLVED] lpr seg fault

lpr seg faults when I try to use it. I last printed successfully on 10.1.21, when I set up a second printer. I haven't tried to use it since today 10.5.21.

These are the packages upgraded since:

I tried to print before and after the 10.5.21 update with reboot.

Let me know what other information and outputs help.

$ echo "this" | lpr
----
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ echo "this" > this
$ lpr this

results in the terminal crashing and exiting altogether. Both examples hang about 4 seconds before outputting.

My default printer is set:

$ lpstat -s
----
system default destination: work
...

Also tried re-adding printer under different name following this format:

# lpadmin -p queue_name -E -v uri -m model

same result.

Re: [SOLVED] lpr seg fault

Nevermind, I aliased lpr without calling

command lpr

within the bash function.
