Howdie people... I have a site here, where CUPS is managing some 15 print queues. All works fine except when a largish (50-70+ pages of text) job is sent to a specific queue. When such a long job is submitted, CUPS keeps thinking the server didn't accept the job and keeps resending it in a loop, until someone deques it from the CUPS and clears the print server (or the paper runs out).
that printer (a simple ASCII DMP) is on a LantronixEPS-1 print server. the firmware it is running seems later than the lantronix.com site even offers to download... This problem did not happen a few months back when reports of similar length were submitted by an AIX machine. this is what I get: E [13/Mar/2005:16:56:09 +0200] [Job 1268] Remote host did not accept data file (4) if I turn on LogLevel debug I get so much junk it's part unreadable and still unhelpful... it repeats the following loop every 30 seconds in retries.
