Hi, I have problems with the behaviour of lpr (woody). When I try to print something, the system sends (sometimes) an email, that the job could not be printed, but it is printed up to five times. /var/log/lpr.log says ...

I am using netatalk, but I do not know if it is part of the problem. I have found a problem description at http://www.faqchest.com/linux/ATALK/linux-00/linux-0008/linux-000804/linux00081117_24803.html but I am not really able to decide if that is also my problem. If yes, what else can I do except hacking the code? If no, what can I do to find out what the problem is? I have not subscribed to the list, so please answer also to my email-address. Best regards, Vera
