It shouldn't.

However the queueing needs some work. The serial ports will soon
reset to default bauds on open, and the 1.2 lpd will support br#57600
in a print cap entry.

I've not updated the gs distribution as I've been working on other things.
Is there someone who'd like to take over on it? I can help get you up to
speed, but can't keep the distribution current w/ gs (which is now at
4.X).

I do mean to update the distribution soon, just to allow for the new
serial drivers coming soon.

that's ok.

the problem here is simple. The person who put that file up left some
things out, and is a slug for not updating it. See above. :-)

Everything should work fine.

Take care,
