Regarding the OS version: i suppose you can't upgrade that much because your hardware might not be supported after 5.1 (if you have a really old R/6000 system, that is). Still you might consider upgrading to 4.3.3 ML11(12? 10? can't remember which was the last one), which was a lot more reliable than 4.2.1 and most likely your software will run with that too.

Regarding your printer problem: have you had a look at "/var/spool/qdaemon" and the files there? This is where the printing subsystem stores its files.

I hope this helps.

       lpq supports the following options:

       -E
