Can anyone with a bit more knowledge of HP printers suggest a way of talking to the printer at this stage to find out whether it is causing the delay or whether it's lpd? > To capture more debugging info of subserver processes, you should be > able to crank-up the debugging level for the printer using "lpc > debug <printer> <debug_value>" and watch lots of output show up in > the log file (defined in the printcap) for that printer. Yes, I did this, but I don't think there was anything that particularly jumped out at me as being the cause of the problem. Anyway, thanks for your assistance with this - I've got a bit more to be going on the next time this happens.
