I was running 3.1C on a 4D70GT and I had a dumb printer hanging off a
serial port. I installed REV.G and the printer configuration went into
the twilite zone ...

Now, whenever I issue a lp , lpadmin , or lpstat command, it goes away
for about 30 to 60 seconds only to return an error message :

           can't lock printer status

Any ideas about what happened and how do I repair it ??????????
