Any suggestions from anyone (including dropping the printer off a roof)
would be most welcome. I just can't get this thing to work with LPRng,
although it worked six months ago, and I can't find anything changed.
The printer still works fine if I send print jobs to it from a Macintosh
via the LPD protocol - I have tried queue names lp, raw, pz04, even left
it blank, and it works every time. The printer name is defined as pz04
in the printer, although Apple documentation suggests I use the "raw"
queue name to spool to it via LPD, which I know worked with this printer
in the past. When I try to spool a job from an Apple to the LPRng queue
for this printer, nothing happens. lpq -P pz04 gives me the following
output:
Printer: pz04@pcfprod (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 'snm'
Queue: 1 printable job

Queue does not exist
However, when I take the same Mac, and redirect its LPD queue to spool
directly to the printer, it works fine. I'm using the exact same queue
name to spool directly to the printer as LPRng is configured to use, so
I don't understand why I get the "Queue does not exist" message.
Here's the printcap entry:
pz04|snm:\
:rw:\
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/pz04:\
:af=acct:\
:lf=log:\
:ps=status:\
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp:\
:ifhp=model=apple:\
:sh:
I tried using the "bk", "nline_after_file", and "status@" options, and
combinations of these - they didn't seem to change the behavior any. I'm
using LPRng 3.6.10-3 and ifhp 3.3.9-1. Here are a few lines from the
status file which seem relevant:

I'd say the printer was screwed, but the damn thing works fine when
receiving LPD jobs from Macs. I don't get it. Any ideas?
