I've occasionally noticed this before, but rarely print multiple things
at a time.
my printcap entry is
thequname:\
:lp=/dev/null:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:rm=itsinternetname:rp=raw:
I'm using lpr if it makes a difference. However, on other occasions,
things seem to happily que up.
Similarly, while it is printing, lpq takes a long time to
respond--sometimes not returning for several minutes, or simply
announcing the connection is down:
smithttyp1:current>lpq
smith: sending to <name>
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st hawk 75 (standard input) 78830 bytes
smithttyp1:current>lpq
smith: sending to <name>
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st hawk 75 (standard input) 78830 bytes
dconnection to <name> is down
smithttyp1:current>lpq
connection to <name> is down
