The behavior you are seeing sounds like a bug in lpsched, but I don't 
know that I have enough information to be certain.
You might turn on the syslogd(1m) lpr.debug logging and take a look at 
it.  lpsched and some of the interface scripts log several key events 
and bits of information that should allow you to get a better idea of 
what's going on.  You might also take a looks that the logs in /var/lp/logs.

That's a fairly open ended question, but the short version is that 
lp/lpstat haven't changed significantly in s10.

lpstat(1) is really it.
