hi,
I have a similar problem when I use IFHP filter, in my opinion it has
something todo with the waitend_interval. But as you don't seem to use
IFHP my problem might as well be triggered by the lpd itself because I
have exactly the same symptoms.
Did you play with the socket options in the lpd.conf:
# Purpose: exit linger timeout to wait for socket to close
# default exit_linger_timeout=600 (INTEGER)
# Purpose: set the SO_LINGER socket option
# default socket_linger=10 (INTEGER)
# Purpose: do a 'half close' on socket when sending job to remote printer
# default half_close (FLAG on)
regards
