I just wanted to follow up on this on the discussion list. I have been
working with Peter offline and developed a fix for
6526489 lpstat dumps core with non-standard rfc-1179 result
Peter has verified the fix and hopefully I will be able to get it back
into snv_60, which would mean making the next SXDE.

PS.
In general, we don't recommend printing directly to a network
attached printer. In this case, the printer acts more like a print
server and less like a simple printer. (It provides job queueing and
transformation services.)
