From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Netscape/7.1 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: Hi All, I am running Red hat 9, upgraded from Red Hat 8, upgraded from Red Hat 7.2. I ran a debug on an lpr print job and found to my horror that lpr attempted to print 3 times and exits. From "man printcap", send_try defaults to 3. Apparently, my send_try entry in printcap.local is being ignored. To set up my printers, I used "printconf". I then erased my printcap and restarted lpd. lpd recreated my printcap. I then open printcap.local and inserted my printcap, made my additions, and again restarted lpd. lpd sucked my printcap.local into printcap and appends it to the bottom of my printcap. My send_try addition is then ignored when I print. Many thanks, --Tony aewell ----------- /etc/printcap ---------------- # /etc/printcap # # DO NOT EDIT!
