Hi!  I've written a simple lp interface that does a decnet copy to our line 
printer.   I used the system manager interface to create a network printer 
and then replaced the interface with mine.  This worked fine UNTIL my PI 
rebooted after a recent power outage.  After that every lp to that printer 
left a core file.  All the other print queues functioned normally.  HOWEVER, 
when I shutdown and restarted the lp scheduler using /usr/lib/lpshut and 
/usr/lib/lpsched, lp worked as I expected.   I've since rebooted the PI twice 
with the same results.  Can anybody tell me what is happening when I reboot, 
and what I need to do to make my interface come up OK?   I'm running 3.3.1 on 
a 4D25.
