Linux prints job unlimited times....

Hello,

We are using Redhat 6.2 as printserver.
We have about 25 HP printers all no the network via JetDirect devices/cards.
I'm using PLP as print spool mechanisme.
I'm not using filters.
We print from Win9x/NT/2000 clients to the Linux machine, wich then sends it to the HP printers.

Sometimes I get the error message : Timed out waiting for confirm from

lpd then tries to resend the job and after a while the same error appears and on and on ...

Anyone any idea how to solve this? Are there any timeout settings possible?

Thanks!

Changed the printing system from PLP to LPrng! Problem seems to be solved.
