SYNOPOSIS:
    lpr-region and lpr-buffer does not spool the file for printing. 
    print-region and print-buffer returns an error message: 
	Args out of range: xx, yy
    where xx and yy are the values of the point and mark.

SYSTEM INFO:
    % uname -a
    SunOS maya 5.3 Generic_101318-45 sun4m sparc

EMACS INFO:
    emacs version 19.22

WORKAROUND:
    Force the use of the BSD style lpr command by setting:
	(set-variable 'lpr-command "lpr")
    This makes lpr-region and lpr-buffer work. print-region and print-buffer
    still fail.
