Jobs don't print until web interface .cgi program executed

Hi All,

I've managed to build CUPS & gutenprint on OS/2and printing works 
quite nicely to an ipp or lpd server - still need to work on USB 
support.

However, after I print a job - it sits there doing nothing, UNTIL I 
access localhost:631/printers.cgi or localhost:631/jobs.cgi and then 
the job prints.

error_log indicates the following:
d [29/Dec/2006:13:27:26 -09-30] cupsdDoSelect: select() returned 0...
d [29/Dec/2006:13:27:26 -09-30] cupsdCheckJobs: 1 active jobs, 
sleeping=0, reload=0
d [29/Dec/2006:13:27:26 -09-30] cupsdCheckJobs: Job 29: state_value=5,
loaded=yes
d [29/Dec/2006:13:27:26 -09-30] select_timeout: 8 seconds to send 
browse update
d [29/Dec/2006:13:27:26 -09-30] cupsdDoSelect: selecting 17 fds for 8 
seconds...
this repeats every 8 seconds or so until something is run and then it 
prints.

During this time, lpd is still running.

I guess this could be a bug in the ported code somewhere, but could 
also be a configuration issue.  Anyone seen anything like this before?

The full error_log is at http://smedley.info/error_log.zip
