Bernhard,
I have a customer seeing similar problems with the 0.46 version. LPD
apparently "gets stuck" sometimes when multiple jobs are in the queue.
It seems to create a bunch of 0 byte jobs and the LPD daemon seems to
be somehow locked out of the queue. Stopping/restarting LPD almost
always clears it, and I thought that I had fixed it by changing the
permissions and group ownership on the lock files. We're using samba
as a printer link from the Winboxes, and someone else mentioned that
it may be a conflict between that and lpd, though I don't see how
since samba just uses lpr. Anyway, is there anything in 0.47 that
addresses these issues? I'm gonna have them try it later today
anyway.
