Yes, this does sound like the same problem that I see - do you see a relationship between the number of jobs in the queue and the length of delay? Looking at the Changelog for 3.8.23 it appears that issues to do with 'chooser' were addressed, which might fix this problem. Unfortunately I've been unable to test it myself in detail as the later versions of LPRng seem to have problems with getting printcap information from a program (which I posted about here last week). Speaking of which, is there a way of submitting bug reports for LPRng? I've mailed here and to Patrick in person, but I don't know if he reads either.
