Running lpd, even if no printing is done, gradually makes a workstation
slower and slower. For those of us who have to have printers attached to
our workstations, it's crippling. Aside fom the move-the-printer solution,
is it possible that lpd is allocating resources it doesn't need and/or
not giving them back?
