As per our conversation I "completely" removed all lprng,ifhp packages and
reinstalled 3.6.24 and 3.3.21 as below. Same result with identical results(ie
same status, status.deslz files). I am "sure" there was no residual lpd packages
on the system.
If in the printcap I comment out the bp,ifhp, and if lines then printing works.
Any ideas where to look ? The only difference in what you attempted to my setup
is 3.6.26(where is that?) and the fact that I am printing to a extendnet print
server and you to a jetdirect card.
