No, you aren't the only one having this problem...just one of the first to
report it. :)

This patch kind of works. For instance, one of the print queues I have here
is a straight bounce queue that queues locally, then transmits to the server
via lpd:
thugbert(john): lpq -P3a
Printer: 3a@thugbert '3rd floor HP LaserJet 8100DN' (dest
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Printer: 3a@hobbes 'HP 8100DN 3rd floor'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: finished 'sanjeevk@antipholus+651', status 'JSUCC' at 14:20:43.709
Filter_status: (of) done at 14:20:43.699
Which is what I expect to see.
However, another queue setup here bounces messages from the local machine to a
central print spooler, then hands jobs out to one of 3 printers (queues) for
processing. Here's what I get for output:
thugbert(john): lpq -Plaser
Printer: laser@thugbert 'Room 1359 LaserWriters' (dest
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Queue: no printable jobs in queue

But this output should look something like this:
