Hi List,
I have set up a new server for our department and chose LPRng-3.6.26 as printing
system.
While normal printig works, i get strange timeout errors when i use lpq -a:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@antsrv1 [~] # lpq -a
Printer: lp is lj4p@antsrv1
Printer: lj4p@antsrv1
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: job 'root@antsrv1+375' removed at 16:48:30.965
Printer 'lj5p@antsrv1' - cannot open connection - Operation timed out
Make sure LPD server is running on the server

The above output shows that:
- the timeouts occur at random (I issued lpq -a twice with different results)
- I get no timeouts when i issue the 'lpq -P <printer>' commands separately.
lpd is of course running:
root@antsrv1 [~] # ps axu|grep lpd
lp 2180 0.0 0.2 1368 1184 ?? Is 2:44PM 0:00.18 lpd: lpd Waiting (lpd)

I am attaching the printcap file
Any ideas? These timeouts are quite annoying.
