Shawn, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.  Bothering innocent
people halfway around the world when you could have just asked
questions@freebsd.org. I'm surprised you just didn't ask John-Mark or
myself.  Sheesh. :-)

lpd is getting angry and probably crashing.  Check the system log and see
if either lpd or your print filter is crashing on signal 11s.  If so, you
may have bad memory modules.  Also check `swapinfo' and make sure you
aren't running out of memory slinging those files.
