This is related to my original DECserver 900 question. I have three
printers spooled from Digital UNIX 3.2c running LAT on a DECserver 900.
There are two LA210s and one LA424. The one LA210 works fine. The other
two are problematic. I can 'cat' a file to each one and it prints. I can
get into TSM on our MicroVAX and do a TEST PORT and it works fine.
However, if I try to spool to the LA424, it prints the header page, stops
dead, and the stays in the queue. If I do an '/sbin/init.d/lpd stop',
kill the daemon, '/sbin/init.d/lpd start', the header page prints again
and the job stays in the queue. The message from 'lpc stat' is
"Attempting to print....".
If I spool to the LA210, I get "Waiting for lock on catalog" ('catalog' is
the queue name). I've had a terrible time getting someone from DEC to
return my calls. Anyone else seen anything like this?
Oh, before anyone asks, here are the printcap entries:
The LA424:

The LA210:

Thanks in advance for _any_ help you can provide.
