Hi there - I had checked the printcap files against eachother - and
they were identical... I thought I had gone through and checked all
the permissions and stuff in the spool directory before - but since I
had a working lp on the new server I thought I'd just try copying the
/var/spool/lpr/lp folder from that system to my new system and...
well... it's working fine now.
Thanks for the push in the right direction!
the differences between the old and new lp folders are outlined below...
lp:
total 18
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 1024 Dec 11 16:14 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 root lp 1024 Dec 11 16:13 ..
-rw-r----x 1 root lp 4 Dec 11 16:14 .seq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9479 Dec 9 14:53 filter
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 188 Dec 9 14:53 general.cfg
-rw-r----- 1 root root 31 Dec 11 16:14 lock
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343 Dec 9 14:53 postscript.cfg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 33 Dec 11 16:14 status
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 146 Dec 9 14:53 textonly.cfg
lp.old:
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 2048 Dec 11 15:51 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 root lp 1024 Dec 11 16:13 ..
-rw-r----x 1 root lp 4 Dec 11 15:51 .seq
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 467 Dec 4 12:29 ed.hup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9479 Dec 10 19:16 filter
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9443 Dec 4 12:25 filter.old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 188 Dec 4 12:26 general.cfg
-rw-r----- 1 root root 31 Dec 11 15:51 lock
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 33 Dec 11 15:51 status
