Thanks to all for the quick responses,
general consensus, there is no problem issuing the chown command as reported
by the wizard.

Subject: lpd - wizard to sysadmin message
Hi there and Happy Holidays
In the /var/adm/syslog.dated/current/lpr.log file I am receiving the
following messages.
The wizard is asking that I issue the command 'chown daemon
/var/spool/lpr/po'. Currently the ownership
for all entries in the /var/spool/lpr directory are root:bin.
Should I go ahead and issue the command ?
Probably one possible side affect would be lots of phone calls from people
saying they can no longer print. !
