Hmm, yeah, thats an issue. It's fixed in the latest LPRng, but the one in rawhide has other issues that are not quite dealt with yet, as a side effect of replacing the printing system, so you might not want to grab that one (unless you want to copy your old lpd.init, and reinstall lpd.init after you upgrade.) I can't push this as an errata, because 7.0 (the only one to ship with LPRng so far) didn't ever do this /itself/, as netatalk wasn't supported explicitly. I /can/ tell you that the new version of LPRng in the beta fixes this. |
This is with netatalk. Everything worked fine on the stock RH 7.0 I get the error message below from lpq [root@audiophile]# lpq Printer: hp208@audiophile 'lp' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 30990 active Unspooler: pid 30991 active Status: cannot open '| -$ /usr/bin/pap -e' - 'No Error', attempt 1, sleeping 10 at 21:47:12.332 Filter_status: status: idle Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active root@audiophile+989 A 989 /root/Xrootenv.0 574 21:47:12 The printcap is as follows: hp208|lp:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp208:\ :sh:\ :lp=| -$ /usr/bin/pap -e:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :mx#0:\ :mc=0:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/hp208/filter: Downgrading to 3.6.22-5 solves the problem.
