Ok - here's the solution as posted to the LPRng listserv:

Sure enough, it worked.  done_jobs=0 forces lpd to not maintain information
about previous print jobs (so running "a2ps test1.txt; a2ps test2.txt; a2ps 
test3.txt;
lpq" only lists the last print job before it is spooled off to the JetDirect
card).
