NEED HELP,

Can somebody help with this printing problem on SUN machine.

1) I have roughly about 40 printers on this sun spark 5 connected
remotely.

when the machine is first booted up 40 child lpd deamons come up and
check the que and all of the clean itself up as there id nothing there
for printing.

2) when somebody prints off this machine an lpd child process starts and
does not send the job for printing to remote machine (as per setup in
the printcap file).

Interesting thing is that if you run trace on this child process,
everything is good and the print job comes out.

Therefore it seems like communication to the remote machine is good but
on this machine somehow gets triggered by trace command.

Any suggestion please respond to me at [email-masked]

Thanks in advance.

Sunil
