Well ... I looked at your EXTREMELY COMPLETE (thank you thank you)
error report and I did not spot anything obvious as well...
Ahh... the joys of servers.
First, make sure that you have the system limits for the 'lp' or 'daemon'
user set to 'UNLIMITED'. You may discover that the default is something
pretty small, especially for maximum file sizes.
Next, make sure that there is enough temp file space left for the conversion.
I know, I know, but sometimes the various conversion things use /tmp.
Next, try running the conversion stuff as the 'daemon' user on the
actual server host. This may turn up something interesting:
su - daemon "/.../ifhp ....."
If you want to clean out the status files to help you get just status
for the job:
for i in /usr/spool/lpd/med/status* ; do
cp /dev/null $i;
done
Ummm... and your printcap is EXACTLY (except for IP addresses)
as the one that I am using here and it worked just fine...
with a 20 Meg PDF file...

Hmmm... 5 megabytes doesn't look
