Hi,
I have a problem after upgrading to LPRng-3.8.15. It seems, user
*has to* specify target host on a commandline line to get a job printed:
$ ./src/.libs/lpr -Plp@pf-i400 /etc/passwd
$ ./src/.libs/lpr -Plp@localhost /etc/passwd
$ ./src/.libs/lpr -Plp@ /etc/passwd
Status Information:
sending job 'mmokrejs@pf-i400+658' to lp@<NULL>
connecting to '<NULL>', attempt 1
cannot open connection to <NULL> - bad or missing hostname?
$ ./src/.libs/lpr -Plp /etc/passwd
Status Information:
sending job 'mmokrejs@pf-i400+659' to lp-pf-i400@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer lp-pf-i400@localhost
job 'mmokrejs@pf-i400+659' transfer to lp-pf-i400@localhost failed
error 'ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA'
sending str '^Blp-pf-i400' to lp-pf-i400@localhost
$
I guess it's a configuration error, but where can I set that
in run-time files? I know about /etc/lpd.conf, but I'm a bit lost with those
many values. Actually, this did not help either:

Also, what did I miss when compiling LPRng? My old
lpr client from LPRng-3.6.9 works in all cases shown above out-of-the-box. ;)
My setup is:
lp-pf-i400|lp-pf-i400-R:\
:rw:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/ecpp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/local:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/local/log:af=/var/spool/lpd/local/acct:ps=status:\
:if=/software/@sys/usr/share/filters/ljet4m:\
:mx#0:ml=0:check_for_nonprintable@:
I use Solaris 2.6, gcc-2.95.3.
Please Cc: me in replies. Thanks!
