I don't think so in this case.  We have the same "problem" with ESPUL to a
JetDirect attached printer, but I hadn't considered it serious enough to
report as a bug (Novell does the same thing).  It may be a function of the
JetDirect card since I do not see this problem when using ESPUL to an lpd
defined print queue.  Of course if it is a bug on the sender's side, I
wouldn't mind it being "fixed" either :-)
