lpq on my freebsd box behaves strange
lpq call results in message "connection to printer is down"
while the lp and lpr work normally
Here is the printcap

hp|lp:\
        :sh:lp=:rm=gutenberg:rp=text:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:
ps:\
        :sh:lp=:rm=gutenberg:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp

Ping to gutenberg works as well. 

Any suggestions ?

Petr
