Author LPRng dhcp problem

I'm having a problems with the printer demon
in Suse 8. After I installed a cable modem the printer
quit. It's happens because of dhcp changing the hostname
and lpd can't start. Anybody know were I should start with
this problem. I don't know dhcp and I don't see anything in
the printer setup that will help.
TIA

Though I do not know Suse, you might look at /etc/hosts and
see if there is a line for your localhost. Or man hosts

Please look at the text below:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

If your /etc/hosts doesn't have this line exactly as shown, that is a
problem waiting to be solved, an accident waiting to happen.

That didn't help. I think it's LPRng getting the var HOSTNAME
and it not matching the real machine name.
