Hi.
I have a HP Lj4000 printer connected to my computer via parallel (SPP)
port (I also tried a newer computer with EPP and no difference). I have
ifhp 3.4.7 installed. The bidirectional printer port works (if I echo
a PLJ command to the /dev/lp0, I get the response with cat /dev/lp0).
But when I try to print, nothing happens, because the filter waits for the
response from the printer. The last words in the log file are these:
--------------------------------------------------------------
(of) code = 30010, 'status buffer overflow' at 14:13:19.543
(of) using model 'hp4000' at 14:13:57.154
(of) pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 14:13:57.196
(of) setting up printer at 14:13:57.198
(of) starting OF mode passthrough at 14:13:57.200
(of) getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 14:13:57.201
---------------------------------------------------------------
If I then stop the lprng and cat the /dev/lp0, I get the status.
My confs:
printcap:
LaserIII|LaserJet III
:lp=/dev/lp0
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/LJ3
:ifhp=model=hp4000,of_options=pagecount waitend status
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:of=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ps=/tmp/print.log
:rw
:sh
ifhp.conf unchanged. Kernel 2.2.15.
If I run ifhp directly with the /dev/lp0 device and debug it seems like it
doesn't know how to read the port.
Any ideas?
Thanx,
Edi
