I've seen a couple of these lately, but I don't know what's causing
it.  lpd seems to be having trouble creating a pipe.  Do you have
KTRACE enabled in your kernel?  Then do this as root

# ktrace -i lpd

This will create a file ktrace.out.  Put it on
ftp://ftp.lemis.com/incoming/ktrace.out and send me a mail message,
and I'll look at it.
