Hi Lucas

I did have the same problem, i solved the problem by setting pr to the name of my printer in the linux printer def. file (printcap i am using RH 4.2).

This is my printcap

LaserJet_6L|ljet|lp|local0|LPT1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp1:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4/filter:

This is my papd.conf.

LaserJet_6L:\
          :pr=LaserJet_6L:op=root:\
          :pd=/usr/share/lib/ppd/LaserJet_4.PPD:

So i think that you shuld set pr to QMS-PS410 and not lpr. Try "pr=QMS-PS410" or "pr=/usr/ucb/QMS-PS410"
