We have 2 Linksys, and an Intel NetportExpress 10/100 Print Servers.

We have setup the printcap file as:

rlp0|Remote Okidata 2400 Printer:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/rlp0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :pw#132:\
        :rm=pserv3:\
        :rp=LPT1_TEXT:\
        :sf:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd.log:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/rlp0/filter:

Occasionally, the lpd will stop sending print jobs to the print servers.
When this happens we have to use '/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd [stop|start]' to
restart the server.  Some times this doesn't work and we have to clean the
junk out of the print queues directory to get printing functioning again.

lpq  will always show at least one print job with a 0 byte size:

gi2: sending to pserv3
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    bin        740                                        0 bytes
2nd    bin        741                                        0 bytes
0 bytes

When we look in the queue directory we see extra cf*, df*, and lpdtemp*
files that should have been removed in a previous printing.

We are currently using:

    lpr-0.50-1
    rhs-printfilters-1.58-1

Why are we getting this problem?

Why are the cf*, df*, and lpdtemp* files not being removed when a print
job has been completed?
