I have a relatively vanilla slink box. I did an apt-get dist-upgrade yesterday for the first time in a while and watched as apt installed a new version of lpr, among other things. (It seems to be the security fix that was released in October. I told you I haven't upgraded for a while...)
Now I can't print to my AppleTalk laser printer. If the printer is sleeping, then sending a job to it from my Debian box will sometimes wake it up, but it doesn't print anything, and running lpq shows the print queue is empty. If I send a *large* job and then lpq immediately, I can sometimes see the job in the queue, but a second lpq shows an empty queue. The nbplkup utility shows the printer, and papstatus claims it's printing (!?). Trying to print to it with pap times out. I've tried tweaking /etc/printcap and rebuilding the printer's spool directory and associated files. No luck. Is the latest slink lpr incompatible with netatalk or something? Does anyone know of a quick fix here? This machine is a webserver, and I don't want to mess with moving it to potato until potato is stable. Thanks... Ron Hale-Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED]
