While I recommend the upgrade to 3.01, all you really need to upgrade is
the TCP/IP product to 1.3.  1.3 is recommended for fixing many bugs in 
TCP/IP.  My system would panic every hour with tcp/ip 1.2 (this is on
a very busy network).  I ran 1.3 on my 2.2.1 system and only had a few
problems.  The 3.01 kernel is much better with heavy networking.

In summary, upgrade to TCP/IP 1.3, you will get lpd/lpr.  It is
recommended that you also upgrade the OS to 3.01.
