1. lpq and Linux-->HP JetDirect lpd -- how can I make them behave?

We have an HP 4si/mx to which we are trying to print from Linux.  Our
Linux box (Redhat 3.03 running plp and samba) also acts as an SMB print
server for our Windows '95 users.

I am currently trying to print using lpd/lpr with the following entry in
our /etc/printcap file:

        acdps3:\
              :lp=:\
              :rm=acdps3:\
              :rp=raw:\
              :sd=/usr/local/spool/acdps3:\
              :lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs.acdps3:

Everything works fine until the printer tries to do two things at once.
For instance, we can do an "lpq" command and if a job is printing, the
printer won't accept the status query.  Often something will time out
and we'll get a "Warning: queue is not active (no server present)" message
and "Remote connect to 'raw' (acdps3) failed: Connection refused".

I would use netatalk to talk to the printer, but our Windows '95 machines
tend to send escape sequences to control printer options which don't seem
to be handled properly by netatalk/pap.

Does anyone have any advise?  Is there a fix for JetDirect to allow it to
handle multiple TCP/IP connections?

Thanks in advance.
