I user LPRng-3.8.9-4 on redhat 7.3
I defineded a loadbalancing queue xeroxt with2 subservers xeroxt1 an xeroxt2
In the howto documentation is stated that the available queues are passed to the
chooser program on stdin
The problem is that I don't always get both queues
When I send a job to the printer I see that the firs time the chooser script
is run that there are no queues on stdin. So I return no queue on stdout and exit with
return code 0
After a few seconds the chooser script is started again and now 1 or both queues are
available on stdin.
What strikes me as odd is the fact that when I return no queue the following is logged
by lprng
Status: chooser did not find subserver, waiting 10 sec at 09:48:42.277
But only after 2 seconds the chooser script is started again
Output of lpr -L xeroxt

status 'JSUCC' at 09:48:42.277
