Thanks you very much for your answer!

I tried to set default_ccache_name in /etc/krb5.conf as you suggest above but "lpr" still asks "Password for [myuser] on localhost?".

My CIFS mount works fine (as before) and I have $KRB5CCNAME set in my env and it points to the ticket under /tmp/:

$ env|grep KRB
KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_5241_RIBf32

I wonder what makes "lpr" ask me "Password for [myuser] on localhost?" instead of using my Kerberos ticket as it does in Ubuntu 16.04? I see that /usr/bin/lpr comes with the package cups-bsd version 2.2.7-1ubuntu2.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 while it is 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.5 in Ubuntu 16.04.
