You can get more information by looking at the log file:
lpq -lll
This will print additional status information.
If this fails to tell you what is going on, then you
can do the following:
cd /var/spool/lpd/lp
cp /dev/null log
lpc debug lp 4
lpr /some/file/to/print
lpq ... (check to see if the job is done)
lpc debug all off
mail me the log file.
