Description Joachim Backes 2000-12-14 06:53:12 UTC

Printing with RedHat 7.0 fails if the printer is
connected to some network connected BSD system
(I didn't try printing for directly connected
printers):

The problem is the following: I inspectected 
/var/spool/lpd/myprinter (for ex.) and found out that
the filter script "filter" is a link to 

	/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//master-filter

Workaround:

When deleting the link "filter" and exchanging it by a
direct copy of /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//master-filter
and calling "chmod o+x filter", the problem is away.

Known?

Comment 1 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-02-02 01:04:56 UTC

I have no idea why that would fix it.
Could you return the result of and past it into the bug report?:

ls -l /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter

Comment 2 Joachim Backes 2001-02-02 06:58:31 UTC

The problem disappeared after a complete new installation
of RH 7.0 (Previously, my RH 7.0 was an update made over RH 6.2).

Comment 3 Joachim Backes 2001-03-14 05:56:28 UTC

After removing the rpms
	
	printtool-3.54-1.noarch.rpm
	rhs-printfilters-1.81-1.i386.rpm
	LPRng-3.6.22-5.i386.rpm

and reinstalling printtool and rhs-printfilters from the RH Disk1
and installing LPRng-3.7.4-1.i386.rpm, the problem disappeared.
