[lug] RHEL6 print server

[Quentin Hartman]

I have seen some weird behavior like that. In my case the printer was being
communicated with via postscript, and the print server wasn't using the
right dialect, so certain docs would cause it to use postcript that the
printer didn't recognize and the printer would silently round-bin the jobs.
Once I changed the server to use older version of postscript to communicate
with the printer the problems went away.

Maybe you are facing something similar?
