Thanks Johannes, (nice to see a backend, never looked in one)

you ask which backend we use. The printer is defined as socket://...
That backend comes with cups, rigth?

But we have to look at our sysV scripts. They end up in the following lines:
.....
cat ${TMP_FILE2}\
    | foomatic-rip --ppd ${sed_dir}/${model}.ppd \
                              | tee /var/log/lp/${model}-foo.out
rm -f ${TMP_FILE2}
exit 0

I don't see something going to stderr, our does foomatic-rip???
