} #1 source of all my bug reports would have to be this. Someone has a

} from some old LPRng, say 3.6.12 or lower, and now the printer stops working
} and the jobs just disappear.
}
} You probably have something in your /etc/printcap like lp=/dev/null as
} well as some rp and rm lines. Well, the job is going to the lp line and
} ending up in /dev/null, remove that line out of printcap.

try something like
lp=192.168.0.8%9100
You might want to read part 12.8 of the LPRng howto too.
