print jobs not being spooled



I'm trying to print to a Laserjet 5 network printer.  It seems to be
working for the most part, but, when the printer is down, instead of jobs
being spooled in the spool directory, the lpr command just times out and
fails.  Shouldn't these jobs be waiting in the spool directory until the
printer is back online?  Is something wrong with my printcap file (shown
below) that this isn't happening?

Thanks,

Gerry
