I have a Laserjet IVsi with Ethertalk interface, and a bunch of Sparcs
(SunOS 4.1.3) of which one is an lpd server for the HP. Printing is
done with pap & psf from netatalk-1.3b2. Every now and then, under
circumstances I have not been able to isolate, a job "re-appears" in
the queue shortly after having successfully printed, and the gets
printed repeatedly until someone notices and kills the queue. I have
been told that this behavior has been seen in cases where a filter
returns an incorrect result code, so pap and/or psf seems a likely
culprit.

Has anyone else seen this behavior? There isn't anything useful in
the error logs... how can I get more information on what pap/psf are
doing?
