Printing from DU 4.0e to Linux lpd

This is a somewhat obscure problem, but I can't seem to find any
information on it anywhere.

I recently upgraded a few Alphas from 4.0d to 4.0e. The upgrade seemed
to complete without any problems. After the upgrade, however, I cannot
print to a remote Linux print server (using lpr). In fact, I can't even
see the queue on the Linux machine. It's as if the Linux machine is not
running lpd. On machines that are still running 4.0d, I can print without
any problem.

I noticed that in the release notes for 4.0f, they say the printing
system has been rebuilt. Does this mean the problem is fixed in 4.0f, or
does it mean it is even worse? Compaq claims the printing system is fully
BSD compatible.

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
