I have set this up before, and do not recall having the problems I am
having now. I am beginning to go mad.

* Here is the error message:
  -------------------------
Mar  7 18:16:46 sparge lprps[32259]: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Mar  7 18:16:46 sparge lpd[32256]: lp: job could not be sent to remote host (cfA010sparge.nbrewer.com)


* Here is the situation: 
  ---------------------
HP LaserJet 4000 is on a Windows NT4 computer (lauter.nbrewer.com).
NT's TCP/IP Print Server is installed and running.

I installed lprps from the ports collection on my BSD machine
(sparge.nbrewer.com).

I have set up a spool area in /var/spool/output, and experimented with
various perimissions and ownerships.

The printer works with a2ps-letter, but not with lprps!

* Here is the /etc/printcap:
  -------------------------
lp|lj|laserjet:\
	:sh:\
	:rm=lauter.nbrewer.com:rp=AdobePS:\
	:lp=:\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/lj:if=/usr/local/libexec/psif:


Any help would be appreciated!
