I'm almost 100% certain that the problem is *not* related to our filters. As you can see below, the psif filter happily finishes at 15:27:59, however there is a further delay of 7 minutes while lpd is waiting for the subserver to exit: IF filter 'psif' filter finished at 2003-12-09-15:27:59.884 ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] number=602 process=23168 printing finished at 2003-12-09-15:27:59.884 ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] number=602 process=23168 accounting at end at 2003-12-09-15:27:59.910 ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] number=602 process=23168 finished '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', status 'JSUCC' at 2003-12-09-15:27:59.910 ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] number=602 process=23168 waiting for subserver to exit at 2003-12-09-15:34:58.800 ## A=<NULL> number=0 process=23164 subserver pid 23168 exit status 'JSUCC' at 2003-12-09-15:34:58.800 ## A=<NULL> number=0 process=23164 Note that these subserver lpd processes appear in output from top as 'defunct' and won't be killed even by a kill -9 but are killed somehow after the delay above. I also only seem to see this problem when there are a lot of jobs in the queue - in this case, in excess of 40 on one printer and 20+ on another printer, both served by this server - as the queue sizes go down, the delay goes down too. Can the size of the queue be affecting this?
