hiho,
ok, you could try "/etc/init.d/lpr restart" if the lpr-skript support restart.
(don't know, i use lprng). you can kill lpr manually and start it again. but
these are no solutions, IMHO. first you need a stable connection between the
printer and the computer. did you play with bios-settings for the parallel
port or with tunelp for the lp-device ?
ciao -ap
btw: i switched to lprng, because lpr + magicfilter + epson stylus color = no
way or printing garbage. the reason is unknown. with lprng no problems so far.
