Printing through a DECserver90TL

Yes, more printing problems.

I have set up lat queues to print to a HP LaserJet 4m attached
to a DECserver90TL. My printcap entry is:

lp|lp0|0|krug:\
        :af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
        :lp=/dev/lat/623:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/hplaser4psof:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#80:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:

If I send a postscript file with
lpr file.ps

it prints. If I create two jobs with
lpr file.ps
lpr file.ps

the first one is fine, but the second job prints PostScript as text.
It seems to start beyond the start of the file. It looks a bit like
the PostScript header is being lost, so it's being treated as text.
The problem also occurs if I print two jobs from two different machines,
but they overlap at the terminal server, the second one gets printed
as text.

Yes, I do have queuing enabled on the terminal server port.

Any ideas?

Ian.
