Trouble with Line Printer Spooler under XENIX

Hello --

	I am having problems with a newly-installed XENIX-386 2.3.2
system.  The line printer spooler system is not working properly.
I used "mkdev lp" to assign a default printer named "printer" to
device /dev/lp0 and used lpr to spool a file.  The file got spooled
and lpstat shows it, but the file does not get printed.  I know it's
not the hardware because I can send the file directly to the /dev/lp0
device.

	Anyone have any suggestions?  What else should I be looking
for?

					Thanks,

						John
