lpr problem

[Ran-Chi Huang x1537 dept 302]

We noticed exactly the same symptoms on our print server running 4.0.1.
Every now and then, we see a message like "Waiting for lock on /dev/lw".
The fix (kludge) is to do a "ps -aux | grep pscomm" and kill off the
associated process.

We talked with SUN and they said it was a known bug in 4.0.1. Hopefully
this will be fixed in the next release.
