Hi Dion,
This is with LPRng 3.8.3:
[pcx1839] ~ $ time lpq -Pr02ps10
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] '2b_200_p1' (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED],spoolb)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: job 'cfA921pcx1839.desy.de' removed at 14:34:13.585
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Pha_4400 PS_2 4 A4 p Operators, 3975, test model'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' removed at 09:01:44
Filter_status: (of) done at 09:01:44.586
lpq -Pr02ps10 0.06s user 0.00s system 34% cpu 0.175 total
[pcx1839] ~ $ time echo test | lpr -Pr02ps10
echo test 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.011 total
lpr -Pr02ps10 0.07s user 0.00s system 29% cpu 0.236 total
What does 'strace lpq -P<printer>' give back, with a delay as big as you
describe it it should be easy to figure out what's going on (?)
best regards
~christoph
