Ok, our plp is now sending the control-file (cf) before the datafile
(df). The Parameter "fj" in every printcap-entry does the trick.
Bute cups is still not printing. The Control-File seems to be correct
and it is sended first (checked by a strace over the cups-lpd), but
there is no Printjob on the Cups-side.
Heres the Controll-file:
CA

NDocuments/test.ps
JDocuments/test.ps

Any clues?
Regards
Daniel
