Hi walter, Thanks for the help. I tried what you asked me to do and i guess you are right, its a problem with the filter. Following is the error message
pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 11:05:07.717 setting up printer at 11:05:07.718 getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 11:05:07.718 id = '"LASERJET 8150"' at 11:05:08.410 sync done at 11:05:08.418 pagecounter 184967 after 1 attempts at 11:05:08.522 pagecounter 184967 at 11:05:08.523 sending job file at 11:05:08.525 starting transfer at 11:05:08.525 file program = '/usr/bin/file dfA033montezuma.occ.engr.uc.edu' at 11:44:20.245 started FILE_UTIL- 'file' at 11:44:20.261 'FILE_UTIL' error msg 'execv '/usr/bin/file' failed - No such file or directory' at 11:44:20.261 exit code 33 - No such file or directory at 11:44:20.262 The file exists in the specified directory. I am not sure what exactly is the solution to this problem. Do i have to upgrade to the new IFHp filer. kindly let me know Thanks Bilal On Sun, 1 Jun 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > hi, > The first thing to try is to save a sample file (change lp -> lp=/tmp/test.ps) > and see if it look like something usefull IF NOT its a filter problem. > > Second is to send the file direcly to the printer lpr -P [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > And see what happens. > > walter > > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Original Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > From: Bilal Rizvi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: LPRng: Problem when printing from unix > Date: 05/31/03 22:06 > > Hey guys > We use LPRng 3.8.14 and IFHP 3.5.10 for printing from our Windows 2000 > sytems and Solaris 9 machines. > > Recently the print jobs from the SUN machines are casuing problems.The > print jobs go to the printer but nothing gets prinited.The job appears on > the printer but nothing prints. > Folloing is the printcap file for one of the printers, > > 8laser617 > :lp=IPaddress%9100 > :rw:pl#60:pw#80: > :mx#0:sh:sb:ff_separator:sc: > :fix_bad_job: > :safe_chars=#"_~\\ : > :bl=Seq\: $-'j Class\: $-'C User\: $-'n Job\: $-'J Date\: $-'t: > :sd=/var/LPRng/spool/8laser617: > :lf=/var/LPRng/spool/8laser617/log: > :if=/var/LPRng/libexec/filters/ifhp: > :ps=/var/LPRng/spool/8laser617/status: > 8laser617move > :lp=IPadress%9100 > :rw:pl#60:pw#80: > :mx#0:sh:sb:ff_separator:sc: > :fix_bad_job: > :safe_chars=#"_~\\ : > :bl=Seq\: $-'j Class\: $-'C User\: $-'n Job\: $-'J Date\: $-'t: > :sd=/var/LPRng/move/8laser617: > :lf=/var/LPRng/move/8laser617/log: > :if=/var/LPRng/libexec/filters/ifhp: > :ps=/var/LPRng/move/8laser617/status: > > I am not sure why this is happening.
