I've just done so (The trouble just happened again).

Dunno if it's meaningful: We've got an intermediate state: lpstat -o says:

FIESPOWN003-38923       unknown              0   Mon Apr  3 13:19:21 2006
FIESPOWN003-38924       unknown              0   Mon Apr  3 13:19:22 2006
FIESPOWN003-38925       unknown              0   Mon Apr  3 13:19:24 2006

Just a moment later lpstat -o comes back without any output.

Kind regards
