Can some other program/spooler do double lines?

If YES then:
  capture job and see hwo they did it. 

If NO then:
  give up.

To capture job:

a) set up test queue:

printcap:
test:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:lp=/dev/null

checkpc -f to create spool directory
lpc stop test   to stop printing

Spool the job to the test printer

look in /var/spool/lpd/test/dfA...  <- data file
for the magic cookies you need,

and email me the magic cookies and/or data file.

Patrick
