Hi, Warren!
Removing the line and restarting lpd/retrying printing didn't do 
anything. No mails, no error messages, no printing.
By cd'ing into /var/spool/lpd to look after queued jobs I noticed that 
the whole file structure under that directory belongs to "root:frank" 
whereas the /var/spool/lpd/-directory is owned by "root:daemon". Does 
that matter?

Greetings Frank
