Hi,
I'm using LPRng-3.7.4 for Load Balancing.
There is a local server Queue, but the chooser
may also select a remote printer "CF900@printer3".
The chooser selects the remote printer until there
are three jobs in the remote queue. The chooser
selects nothing until the remote queue has less than
2 Jobs. The remote printer runs lprng-3.6.14. 

My problem is that 50-60 percent of the jobs are
not removed from the Load Balancing Queue, but they
are printed. When lpd is restarted or when an incoming 
job activates a new server the jobs will be printed
a second time, and again 50-60 percent will remain in
the Queue.

My Test-setup:
The chooser selects a remote printer or
the CF900printernull, which sends the jobs to /dev/null
If the chooser selects  CF900printernull everything is Ok,
but if it selects CF900@printer3 some printed Jobs remain in the
Queue:


CF900|CF:cm=Load Balancing Queue CF900:
        :minfree=20000:
        :chooser=/var/spool/lpd/support/chooser:
        :mc=1000:
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:
        :la@:mx#0
        :sv=CF900printernull:

CF900printernull:
        :lp=/dev/null
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:
        :mc=1000:
        :la@:mx#0:
        :ss=CF900:         

Jochen
