try done_jobs=0

(maybe the space between = 0 is causing it to be ignored?)

If you look in your lpd spool dir, you'll see the last
job is still there;  LPRng knows it's purpose, but
samba doesn't...lpq will tell you that there are
no printable jobs, but samba sees it as Paused...

  I'm running OpenBSD, and putting it in lpd.conf didn't
fix it for me, either.  Putting :done_jobs=0 in the
.common section worked for me.

Here's a snippet of my /usr/local/etc/printcap:
------------------------------------------------
.common:cm=Common Settings:done_jobs=0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:mx=0:sh:lf=log \
:lpd_force_poll=:lpd_poll_time=30:max_servers_active=0

hp4plus:cm=HP4Plus by Graphics PC:tc=.common:rm=149.158.23.170:rp=9100

------------------------------------------------

Maybe this will help.
