Using a AMDK6 + SusE 6.0 + 2.2.4 kernel as a print server for various Mac
hosts over TCP/ethernet. The printer is an old NEC SilentWriter postscript
attached
via parport0.
After managing to get past the initial setting up of lpd everything seemed
to be running fine using lprold; tried using plp but kept getting lpd
errors of <no server present>!?!
Anyway recently when attempting to print larger jobs things have gone
downhill; lpd seems to process the files ok but the printer simply goes
idle.
The Macs print the same files directly to the same printer without any
hitches, so its not the files or the printer at fault.
Anyone out there with experience of what could be the problem here?
Any config tips to optimise spooling of larger postscript jobs?
Can i configure printcap to help with this? or apsfilter ? Or is it a port
problem ? Where should i start???
any help really appreciated. thanks.
