To gather further information on this matter, I did try to perform the same task under Debian-Lenny, which is quite similar to Gusty (kernel 2.6.22-2, cups 1.3.2-1). The only difference: Lenny does nor freeze, but collects thousands of missed RTC-IRQ's in the syslog. Printing via cups-lpd does not work either. The link between cups-lpd and cupsd seems broken. Here the relevant part of /var/log/messages:
pp:/home/ingo# tail /var/log/messages Nov 12 12:17:25 pp cups-lpd[4155]: Connection from 192.168.0.21 (IPv4 192.168.0.21) Nov 12 12:17:25 pp cups-lpd[4155]: Receive print job for Queue Nov 12 12:17:25 pp kernel: rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.
