LPRng is acting up. When I 'lpr <filename>' it appears to print fine
- no error message or anything - but nothing is printed and nothing
appears in the queue file.
I'm using the .deb - debian build, version 3.5.3-0.1.
I checked out the HOWTO which said to set the send_data_first flag,
and I have done that, to no avail.
lpd is definately running, according to ps, and nothing shows up in
the syslog or message log.
Example session:
% lpr manifesto
% lpq
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'HP DeskJet 500'
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: server finished at 08:28:46
... but nothing is printed.
Here's the printcap entry:
lp|dj500|HP DeskJet 500:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj500:\
:send_data_first:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/etc/magicfilter/dj500-filter:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Here's the /etc/lpd.conf:
send_data_first@
If I cat things to lp1, like this:
# cat /home/gossamer/writing/manifesto | perl -pe 's/\n/\r\n/' >> /dev/lp1
then it works perfectly.
Don't think I missed anything relavant ...
