Hello.

Well, every year again we have strange troubles with our relatively
primitive set up printserver. Printserver is a FBSD 4.4-RC machine,
buffering incoming printjobs from other hosts and sending it as a kind
of gateway to e HP JetDirect 500X printserver.

Sending a huge printjob (about 350 MB) seems to kill or disturb the
lpd functions. All smaller jobs are to be printed the normal way.
We use no limitations within /etc/printcap or by other quoting
systems.
A further phenomenon is that I cannot access the lpd via lpc on the
printserver itself. lpq -a reports an error about a non accessible
server, lpc reports that it also can not access the local lpd.
From remote hosts this seems to be all right, so I think there must
be a misconfiguration or a kind of bug on the printserver itself.

Does anyone has a tip, a hint?

Thanks al ot in advance,
Oliver
