We have a Sun3/280 running OS 4.0.1 with Transcript2.0 installed.
Periodically we get the daemon waiting for lock on /dev/ps. Various things
like restarting the daemon, recycling the printer, etc. doesn't seem to
fix it. Any idea what is happening? We don't have lpr sources and that
error mesage doesn't seem to be in the OS 3.X sources. thanks
