I am having a similar problem right now with 4.2BSD from Integrated
Solutions.  The line printer daemon for some reason attaches itself to
the console, and then gets hung up whenever getty starts up upon the
console (such as right after boot -- thus, lpd dies almost immediately).
I don't know why lpd is attaching itself to the console, but in your
case, could it be that things are dieing upon logout from the
console?

Let me know what you find out.
