[PLUG] Remote lpr printer

I'm having problems with a remote lpr printer. The first print job gets
stuck in the queue. The second job initiates the print-out of the first
job. But only the first page. And this goes on. The printer works fine
from a Windows box through Samba. 

Any ideas? If not I'll turn to cups as suggested by Paul Heinlein.

Thanks!

Here are the printcaps:

Print server (glide):

epson:\
        :ml#0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/epson/epson.acct:\
        :sh:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:\
        :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Workstation (halo):

epson_glide:\
        :ml#0:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson_glide:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/epson_glide/epson_glide.acct:\
        :sh:\
        :rm=glide:\
        :rp=epson:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:\
        :if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

And this is what plstat returns after sending two jobs:
