Thought it might help to re-install. So I saved the configuration files 
I had adjusted, and re-installed the rpm.
After re-installing I ended up with the same failure. The error-message 
before it died:
  lpr: Error - no default destination available.
This is slightly different from above, where it only said "failed to 
execute". Maybe this gives a hint to anyone?
