What release of LPRng are you using?  I can't find any "Open_dgbm" references in 
3.8.13 (running here).  "Open_gdbm" was a problem in the early 3.7.X releases of 
LPRng, but Patrick ripped out the GDBM parts because of too many people running into 
these file-open errors.

Using 3.8.X releases of LPRng should clear up this particular error.  Or you can try 
increasing the number of file descriptors/maximum open file limit on your print 
spooler to some obscenely-large number and see if the problem goes away or not.  
Personally, I'd avoid the GDBM-enabled releases.
