This is the weirdest thing with this printer.
The jobs are getting queued and (at least I think) sent
to the printer but nothing gets printed.

Some data:
Printer:	OkiPage6e
System:		Mandrake 7.1

Printing system lpd.

symptoms:

$ lpr tst; lpq
lp is ready and printing
Rank	Owner	Job	Files			Total Size
1st	root	33	tst			422 bytes
$ lpq
no entries

$ cat /etc/printcap
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are
doing!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict
format!
#
# This file can be edited with printerdrake or printtool.
#


##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL ljet4 300x300 letter {} LaserJet4 Default 1
lp:\
   :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
   :mx#0:\
   :sh:\
   :lp=/dev/lp0:\
   :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:

Any ideas??
