After applying the lpr-0.43-1mdk.i586.rpm update to 6.1, I had problems similiar
to yours. Truly bizarre behaviour, some files would print for some users, some
not at all, others wouldn't print until somebody else printed a job, and then
that file would print forever no matter what was queued. All on an HP4500 that
was working fine until I applied the patch. I moved back to lpr-0.38-3mdk and
all the problems vanished. I don't want to be unfair, but first the wu-ftpd
update is broken wrt NIS, and now the lpr update is trashed. Am I just getting
corrupt packages or is anyone else having problems? The md5 sums check out.
Anyway, if you're running lpr-0.43-1mdk, try stepping back to an earlier
release.
