Try adding "-E" to the pap command in lp2pap.sh. There are a variety
of printers (I'm guessing the ones where Adobe wrote the PAP
implementation) that don't send EOF on the channel when the job is done
printing. This is a protocol violation, and very inconvenient for
error reporting.
psf calls pap with the -E option by default. Probably lp2pap.sh should
do the same, since several common printers exhibit this problem.
