I have the same problem using a LaserWriter on an AppleTalk network. I seems
that there the lpd (daemon) is not compatible with the new versions of
at_cho_prn, atstatus and atprint. So my solution for the moment:

mkdir /usr/bin/NewATBUG
mv atstatus  /usr/bin/NewATBUG
mv atprint  /usr/bin/NewATBUG
mv at_cho_prn  /usr/bin/NewATBUG

and get the 2.0 versions of these files in /usr/bin.
