PROBLEM:  (80620) (PATCH ID: OSF445-072)
********


This patch fixes a printing problem where lpd reads any data from
the printer that has not been read, for local and remote connections.
The read-backs for remote connections cause an additional 2 second
timeout which may cause a job-submit failure on the job-number
wrap-around.

This patch fixes the problem by performing the read-backs for local
connections only.

PROBLEM: (78515, 80638, 80639, 80877) (PATCH ID: OSF445-082)
********
This patch fixes the following four printing problems:
- A user is unable to delete a print job from
a remote system with a hostname greater than 32 characters
because the hostname was truncated.

- When a TCP/IP connection fails, the retry
algorithm would take longer to print jobs due 
to a long retry interval.

- A timing hole during lpd last-job completion
and shutdown needed to be closed.

- It was not possible to print to the lpd queue
using Windows 2000.

********
This patch corrects a problem in which, under certain conditions,
unnecessary error messages are written to the lpr.log file.


PROBLEM: (82203, 81354, 85602) (PATCH ID: OSF445-136)
********
This fix introduces the "JJ" /etc/printcap parameter, which allows the user
to choose either one tcp/ip connection for all jobs in the print queue (JJ=1),
or a tcp/ip connection for each job in the print queue (JJ=0). It also closes
a timing hole that existed when lpd was shutting down.

This patch fixes a problem in which lpd hangs when printing to
advanced server queues (using /dev/null).
