OK, that was fast... :-)...
Periodically LPRng runs down the list of printers and forks
a process to 'clean up' any problems.
This is probably what you are seeing....
<aside> typityt type typeity type </aside>
Next release:
The problem of saturating a server when checking for work was
re-examined. The new approach is:
a) if some work was done, then check for success at
lpd_poll_time intervals. If there remains work to
be done and there is no process actively doing the
work, mark the queue as needing service.
b) for the marked queues, start at most 'lpd_poll_servers_started'
queues at once, and start these at intervales of
'lpd_poll_start_interval' seconds.
The effect of this will be to limit the number of processes
that LPD will start at a time.
