I am not interested in tape labels Jean-Louis, but in the destination printer that amreport uses to print that "magic software" report on. I have the printer specified this way, as the next line under dumpuser in my amanda.conf: mailto "g...@coyote.coyote.den" dumpuser "amanda" # the user to run dumps under printer "HL3170CDW" I am not getting the emails. No place that I can find specifies the Epson printer, whose nozzles are totally plugged, and which has now been turned off for 3 days, but amanda is persistent in sending these reports to that printer, an Epson NX515. >From the cups screen at localhost:631: ▼ ID ▼ Name User Size Pages State Control Epson_Stylus_NX515-358 (stdin) amanda 24k Unknown pending since Sun 23 Jun 2013 02:14:02 AM EDT Epson_Stylus_NX515-361 (stdin) amanda 24k Unknown pending since Mon 24 Jun 2013 02:04:27 AM EDT Epson_Stylus_NX515-362 (stdin) amanda 24k Unknown pending since Tue 25 Jun 2013 02:08:14 AM EDT The proper printer even is returned by: root@coyote:/home/amanda # amgetconf Daily printer HL3170CDW But nothing I have done, including rebooting and reverifying that the default is still the HL2140, a B&W laser, is still set as default. I set the HL3170CDW in amanda.conf just so I wouldn't have to run to the basement and clear out the table I have been assembling rockhoppers 6 page poster diagrams of the logic flows configured in the Hardware Abstraction Layer of LinuxCNC, describing my CNC'd lathes configuration. The question is, how do I configure amanda to use the proper printer for its amreport output? Every method so far has been an abject, dismal failure. FWIW, I tried to build the latest svn pull from the community downloads web site, (which seems to have been abandoned as the last tar ball has a March 2013 creation date, and it will not build on a ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (Lucid) system due to some python lib dependency that is not available to me via the normal repositories for Lucid LTS. My .newmanda script is running now to recover the error. I note also that one of the patches I have been using also fails, so I'll report that here also. The patch failure is to planner.c that you sent me at least a year ago: now su - amanda to unpack a fresh amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.5199 tree from amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.5199.tar.gz srcs copying the gh.gf master config file to amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.5199 master config copied to amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.5199/ patching file server-src/planner.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 107.

I am rerunning that script, without the scheduler_r3 patch just for S&G. If there is a dependency on newer stuff, .configure is not finding it. And a 2nd rebuild/install fails exactly the same as above, this for the above version. So I restored the patch, and amanda-4.0.0alpha.svn.4761 is re-installing. You have removed the downloadability of the older tarballs, so I can't even bisect this g_ptr_array_new_full derived error. Where have the alpha tarballs been moved to? And how do I make it use the designated printer for amreports? Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
