I'm experiencing some issues with socket printing to terminal servers and jet-direct boxes and runaway lpd processes.
Everything prints fine until either the printer runs out of paper, or a user turns off the printer during the print. Netstat reports the connection as "CLOSED" with data still waiting to send to the printer, and the lpd subserver process is consuming all available CPU time. LPQ reports that there was a JWRERR and then multiple JTIMEOUT errors and "waiting for subserver to exit" messages. The queue remains stalled with the subserver running away indefinitely, until an lpc kill is performed and the queue is restarted. Any ideas? I'm quite stumped. Perhaps there is a timeout that I could use to force it to retry after the connection is lost? I'm running LPRng v3.8.4 on an Alphaserver DS10 w/ RedHat 7.0 for Alpha.
