I figured out what was going on so I thought I would pass it on to the list.
This only is happening when I try to print to a printer thats configured in a Print pool. It doesnt happen if I print to the master queue but always happends if I try and directly print to the queues that it servers. Not sure if thats something by design that you should be doing but in any case it doesnt work correctly for me. In production thats not going to be happening but I was printing to this one for testing. I also upgraded LPRng to 3.8.12 and had the same results. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dan Finch Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 2:52 PM To: lprng Subject: LPRng: No active server I'm having a problem with LPRng. I'm using the version that was installed with Redhat 7.2 which is version 3.7.4. What happends is that if more than one job gets sent to the printer so that they would queue up, after the first job prints no other jobs will print. If I do a lpq of the printer I get no active server and a list of the jobs in the queue and it will stay that way until I either restart the lp daemon or I use lprm to remove all the jobs from the queue. Now if I print a file and wait until its done printing before a second job is sent I seems to print just fine without the no active server occuring. I'm including the printcap for this printer. Also its not just this printer it does this on any of the printers I configure on this box. This will be used via samba but right now all the testing i'm doing is via Unix print commands. I have also tested this with the :filter removed to make sure that is not part of the problem and still have the same results. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong here would be appreciated. ##LPRNGTOOL## SOCKET filtertype=IFHP ifhp_options=status,sync,pagecount,waitend printerdb_entry=hp5si ns0040-1 :af=acct :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp :ifhp=model=hp5si,status,sync,pagecount,waitend :lf=log :lprngtooloptions=FILTERTYPE="IFHP" IFHP_OPTIONS="status,sync,pagecount,waitend" PRINTERDB_ENTRY="hp5si" :mx=0 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P :sh :ss=ns0040 :lp=###.###.##.##%9100 <--- IP address blanked ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
