I have a small issue with lpstat behavior. We have set up our lprng clients to talk to printers directly without a central server. This has worked out great so far. The only problem I have is that if you "lpstat <queue>" and queue doesn't exist, it happily tells you the status of the default queue rather than either not returning with any data as "lpstat -o <queue>" does or some sort of error like lpq does. Also, as I am not familiar with the specification, is lpstat supposed to behave like this, or do I need to upgrade to a later version of lprng (I'm using 3.7.5). Thanks.
