The CUPS lpd does indeed have a problem with zero length files (there
is an error message indicating that in /var/log/syslog). I patched that
and followed the instructions here:
http://www.aplawrence.com/MacOSX/macosxcupstofile.html
One important thing which is still broken is that the print job doesn't
go into the right queue. If there is only one printer set up in CUPS,
that's however not a problem.
The patch to the cups-lpd is quite simple, the function recv_print_job
in scheduler/cups-lpd.c needs to be fixed so that it reads incoming
data until no more data is available instead of using the amount of
bytes given.
