We have 2 Linksys, and an Intel NetportExpress 10/100 Print Servers. We have setup the printcap file as: rlp0|Remote Okidata 2400 Printer:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/rlp0:\ :mx#0:\ :pw#132:\ :rm=pserv3:\ :rp=LPT1_TEXT:\ :sf:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd.log:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/rlp0/filter: Occasionally, the lpd will stop sending print jobs to the print servers. When this happens we have to use '/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd [stop|start]' to restart the server. Some times this doesn't work and we have to clean the junk out of the print queues directory to get printing functioning again. lpq will always show at least one print job with a 0 byte size: gi2: sending to pserv3 Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st bin 740 0 bytes 2nd bin 741 0 bytes 0 bytes When we look in the queue directory we see extra cf*, df*, and lpdtemp* files that should have been removed in a previous printing. -rw-r----x 1 root lp 4 Mar 7 10:49 .seq -rw-rw---- 1 root root 97 Mar 7 10:54 cfA740gi2 -rw-rw---- 1 root root 97 Mar 7 10:56 cfA741gi2 -rw-rw---- 1 root root 0 Mar 7 10:56 cfA742gi2 -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 10789 Mar 6 13:39 dfA733g8yB0eb -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 31322 Mar 7 09:27 dfA740g3hhYUK -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 31322 Mar 7 09:37 dfA740gi2 -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 31303 Mar 7 10:47 dfA741gDDueKr -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 31303 Mar 7 10:55 dfA741gi2 -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 31320 Mar 7 10:49 dfA742gK4njk4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 31320 Mar 7 10:56 dfA742gi2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9443 Oct 22 09:27 filter -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192 Oct 22 09:27 general.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27 Mar 7 10:56 lock -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 100 Mar 7 09:27 lpdtemp84DwLM -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 100 Mar 7 10:49 lpdtempA3fa2J -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 100 Mar 7 10:47 lpdtempOPNIAF -rw-rw---- 1 bin lp 100 Mar 6 13:39 lpdtemppCZ5cl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 339 Oct 22 09:27 postscript.cfg -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 30 Mar 7 10:56 status -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 147 Oct 22 09:34 textonly.cfg We are currently using: lpr-0.50-1 rhs-printfilters-1.58-1 Why are we getting this problem?
