The only time I've seen this happen is when some very old interface scripts were copied up to a new version. I never took the time to look at the scripts to see why they weren't working, but apparently they'd hang for some reason, so lp would assume a printer fault, stop the job, wait a bit, and then send it again. And again, and again.. Replacing the interfaces with current versions fixed it instantly.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

I could make a wisecrack about being turned on, shaking and making loud noises, but as Tony has alluded in other places, this is a G-rated area on the 'Net.
