It does work with network printing, plenty of people do it. I've got
lprng talking to a netgear box that speaks lpd protocol.
Pretty much all bugs reported have been configuration changes or errors.
The one where the hostname is dropping out inside lprngs checks, for
exmaple, is definitely a bug.

There were plenty of things fixed in the 3.7 range, a lot of the state
and config problems were cleaned up. The side-effect of this is a lot
of config files need changing.
I'd have to be convinced that:
1) The bug is not due to a config file problem
2) The bug effects a reasonable proportion of users.
Have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/lprng initially it looks bad,
lots of people haivng problems. But pretty much all of them have me
saying, try *this* config, does it work? And no replies :(
