The C-library function descriptions are in the manpages-dev package.
The info pages in the glibcdoc package are also very useful to a C(++)
programmer.

I have the same problem with lpd from lpr_0.33-3.deb. Installing the
last version did not help me a lot. You might want to try the lprng
package (maybe you even have that installed). This should have enhanced
functionality. I never got around getting my print filters to work with
it though (yeah, I know about magic filters, but since I wrote my own in
my old slackware days, I kept it that way). For now, I just restart
lpd once in a while if I need to print.
HTH,
