need help with 4.2 lpr problem

[Rick Link '85]

	I am having a problem with the lpr software for 4.2 bsd UNIX and
its interface with a Digital LA180 line printer.  First, the daemon for
the lpr seems to hang a lot.  Our other printers seem to work ok, but
the lpr stops.  Also the line to the lpr gets stuck, that is nothing
seems to pass over it. I am unable to even get the line stats (stty) for
the line when it is in this state.  If anyone has ever had this problem
with the 4.2 lpr system I would appreciate any reply.  Finally, is it
possible to reimplement the old 4.1 lpr system to run effectivly on 4.2?
