You're using SunOS 4.0.3, and Interleaf is kicking a bug in the line
printer system. You have three choices: 

1) Get the patch for this bug from Sun. Not having used this option
   myself, I don't know which one it is, but I have been told that there is
   one.

2) Install the 3.5 versions of lpd and lpr.

3) Upgrade to 4.1, where the problem has been fixed.

(I suppose it would be undue provocation to add my favorite option, 4)
Stop using Interleaf.)
