I loaded Solaris 9 on my Ultra 30, and added access to a remote printer,
in this case an Optra R laser printer served by my Barricade router.
Printing works fine, but the files in /var/spool/print don't get deleted
after they're printed. Every few minutes "lp" (which keeps running) notices
them there and resends them. This results in endless copies being printed,
until I remove the spooled files by hand!
% ls -ld /var/spool/print
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 512 Jul 6 19:24 /var/spool/print
% ls -l /var/spool/print
total 6

-rw-r----- 1 root 100 14 Jul 7 15:25 xfA015davstoy
% lpq

% ps -l -p 575
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD

Any ideas on how to get these files to be automatically removed, and/or
why "lp" is still running?
