Hi there - something you can try:

There is a variable in the /etc/sendmail.cf file which specifies the system domain name:

# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM

Try un-commenting this line and adding your domain name (replace Foo.COM). Leave the $w where it is though.

Sorry - make that /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Then the error is valid. What makes you think this is causing printing issues?
