Pacer printing problems

Hello managers,

We have two spools sending to the same printer (DEClaser 5100) attached
to a serial port (/dev/tty00) in a 2100 Server with DU 3.2C. One of these
spools, esquio, is an osf spool and runs fine.

The other is a spool (esquiomac) created by PACER for OSF version 2.6.5.1
and it don't work.

If we type the command "lpr -Pesquiomac file.ps", Pacer:
  - starts the esquiomacpprintd daemon,
  - creates the cfXXXXairas and dfXXXXairas files in
    /usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/lpqs/esquiomac and
  - creates the BANNERtmpXXXXX file in /usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/tmp,
 
but prints nothing, hangs the osf spool and no more jobs are printed.

The printcap entry for esquiomac is:

esquiomac|lp3|esquiomac Spooler:\
        :if=/usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/esquiomacfilter -w%W -l%L -i%I:\
        :lf=/usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/lpqs/esquiomac/esquiomac:\
        :lp=/usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/lpqs/esquiomac/null:\
        :pw#80:\
        :sd=/usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/lpqs/esquiomac:\
        :sh:\
        :uv=4.0:\
        :uv=4.0:

The /usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/config/esquiomac file contains:

CONNECTION=serial
LPCOMMAND=lpr -P
SPOOLER=esquiomac Spooler
FONT_FILE=/usr/local/pacer/pacerprint/LW_FONTS
BANNER=YES
DEBUG=0
SERIAL_PORT=/dev/tty00
SERIAL_BAUD=9600
SERIAL_PARITY=N
SERIAL_DATA_BITS=8
SERIAL_STOP_BITS=1

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
