problem printing on fc3

I just installed Fedora Core 3 over my previous RH 8.0 system, and now
I'm not able to print.
I've a Canon S600 connected by USB, and at the first try (with Ooo Calc
1.1.2) I just had no output, without any error.
Then I tried to test the printing system with the printer configuration
tool, printing the "A4 Postscript Testpage", and I got this message :

sh: /usr/bin/lpr: No such file or directory

Investigating on this, I found that "/usr/bin/lpr" was a link to
"/etc/alternatives/print", that was a link to the missing
"/usr/bin/lpr.LPRng".
I tried to make links to redirect all the *.LPRng links in
/etc/alternatives to the existing and correspondent *.cups in /usr/bin,
but now, when I try to print the test page, I get this error:

lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found

Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance.

Don't work so hard. Check the:

$ man alternatives

command and use the form:

# alternatives --config print

to do this for you.

HTH.
