Public bug reported:
I set up a Apple Laswerwriter 16/600 as a unix printer by IP address . It works
well with most gnome apps and OO.o, but firefox, xpdf and printing from the
command line do not work, no queue is initiated. From the command line it
generated an error "lpr: error - scheduler not responding!".
I then tried installing gtklp. Using gtklp -D (debug mode) generated:
--------------------------------------
$ gtklp -D instructions.ps
DEBUG-MODE on !
Files to print:

--------------------------------------
On a hunch I redefined a new printer, using the same printer but calling it an
Apple 630, (essentially the same model but newer). All of a sudden it all
works.
