LPRng: Printing problems

[Antony Healey]

Hi,   I'm having some difficulty in trying to trace a 'fault' when using the newer version of LPRng and ifhp.   If I attach the printer (an HP 8150dn) to LPRng 3.8.5 and ifhp 3.5.3, the job never prints. The logs come back saying "done" etc, but the job just sits in the queue like it's waiting on some response from the printer.   If I attach the same printer to another queue, running LPRng 3.5.3 and ifhp (unknown version) then the job printers straight away. There is no delay between the job hitting the queue and the printer starting up.   Has anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas for testing?   Some details....   lpd -V LPRng-3.8.5, Copyright 1988-2001 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sending job 'root@dinadan+299' to 8150@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer 8150@localhost sending control file 'cfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au' to 8150@localhost completed sending 'cfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au' to 8150@localhost sending data file 'dfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au' to 8150@localhost completed sending 'dfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au' to 8150@localhost done job 'root@dinadan+299' transfer to 8150@localhost   lpq  Printer: 8150@dinadan 'HP8150dn (Y106)'  Queue: 1 printable job  Server: pid 11282 active  Unspooler: pid 11243 active  Status: processing 'dfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au', size 150, format 'f', IF filter 'ifhp' at 14:19:33.541  Filter_status: starting transfer at 14:19:34.810  Rank   Owner/ID                  Class Job Files                 Size Time active root@dinadan+299             A   299 /home/antony/hello.p   150 14:19:33   status using model 'DEFAULT' at 14:19:34.042 pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 14:19:34.099 setting up printer at 14:19:34.100 getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 14:19:34.100 sync done at 14:19:34.748 pagecounter 6 after 1 attempts at 14:19:34.800 pagecounter 6 at 14:19:34.801 sending job file at 14:19:34.810 starting transfer at 14:19:34.810     status.8150 waiting for subserver to exit at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.463 ## A=<NULL> number=0 process=11282 subserver pid 11243 starting at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.484 ## A=root@dinadan+299 number=299 process=11243 accounting at start at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.484 ## A=root@dinadan+299 number=299 process=11243 opening device 'kwd-y106-lj8150dn%9100' at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.488 ## A=root@dinadan+299 number=299 process=11243 printing job 'root@dinadan+299' at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.539 ## A=root@dinadan+299 number=299 process=11243 processing 'dfA299dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au', size 150, format 'f', IF filter 'ifhp' at 2002-02-04-14:19:33.541 ## A=root@dinadan+299 number=299 process=11243     Thanks, Antony. ----- Unix Systems Administrator School of Computing & IT University of Western Sydney Phone: (02) 4736 0771 Fax: (02) 4736 0770   Programmer (n): One who makes the lies the salesman told come true.   She said she had nothing to wear.
