I already mailed the following report to Patrick
directly but perhaps it would be beneficial to
have it appear on the list.

My counterpoint:
Hmm. I don't get this. If I do lpc stop ljp_3016 and send a job:
On a Redhat7.1 system:

I also compiled the latest version 3.8.8 on sun box and could not get it
put the entries in either. I did run it with -D option and the options
are recognized, just not being put into the control file. Perhaps the
printcap entry I am using is causing a problem.
