Summary: How to recover /var/spool/lp (Solaris 10)

Hello,

many thanks for all hints. With original SUN software (new install of 
SUNWpsr, recommended patch 120467-02 failed to intall) I was not able
to fix it, /var/spool/lp always vanished after some time.

Finally I used CUPS print system http://www.cups.org/ and installed it 
like described here  http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=98554 .

With the -i option of lpadmin I was able to reuse my previous printer 
scripts from /etc/lp/interfaces without any changes (to print with
application MENTOR Graphics Board Station EN2004).

Best regards

Thomas
