On Dec 22, you posted an announcement of LPRng 3.8.4 and ifhp 3.5.2.  In it,
you mentioned:

"Finally, as you might suspect, I have been doing an IPP implementation
for LPRng. I want this to be 'seamless' and to not require a total redo
of everything. To accomodate some of the IPP requirements, I have added
the following:
a) Jobs being sent to the print queue will be 'visible' while
they are arriving. You will see them with a 'incoming' status.
b) Jobs will not be removed for a while. This allows the IPP status
stuff to get status in a reasonable way."

I was wondering how long is "a while."  I redirected a queue over to my test
server running 3.8.5 and in spite of the lpd.conf settings:

done_jobs= 5
done_jobs_max_age= 600

there are now 77 sets of job [config, data, and header] files sitting in the
queue directory, and they are over 24 hours old.  When will these get
removed, or did I miss a configuration parameter.  We're not planning on
implementing IPP in the near future and so is there a way to disable this
new requirement in LPRng?

We have also seen a problem with a Lexmark w810 which when hit with high
volume, loses network connectivity.  Could there be a way to throttle jobs
that we're not implementing properly?

Finally, we had another anomaly with a different Lexmark w810 that stopped
outputing Win2K Professional boxes configured using Lpr [TCP/IP windows
printing] but was able to print from Macs and unix servers just fine.

thanks in advance.
