Ok, so smbspool_krb5_wrapper might not be compatible with the Kerberos version in 18.04. When I "strace -f" the "lpr" command and then grep for "open" and "krb" I get almost the same lines in both 16.04 and in 18.04 (the difference is in the beginning of the lines: "open(" vs "openat(AT_FDCWD, "):

16.04$ grep ^open /tmp/strace.out|grep krb
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi_krb5.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkrb5.so.3", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkrb5support.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

18.04$ grep ^open /tmp/strace.out|grep krb
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi_krb5.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkrb5.so.3", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkrb5support.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

In 16.04 the three files belongs to libgssapi-krb5-2:amd64, libkrb5-3:amd64, and libkrb5support0:amd64 which all are version 1.13.2+dfsg-5ubuntu2 while they in 18.04 are version 1.16-2build1.

Can you please tell me how I turn on verbose logging to be able to track down the problem?
