rawhide-release 19990907 every used network printer (Tek 380,440,550; HP 4050) (the /etc/printcap is made by the printtool, it resembles the one given in the bug report 5122) Everytime I sent a print job to one of the network printers, I got: "no daemon present". This job had been printed, the size of the job then got null. Then I have to "lprm" the job to be able to send a new job. I can't reproduce this here with lpr-0.41-2. Are you running it on just the client, or also on the remote server? This generally happens when one of the remote printers is down (or no longer exists or generally cannot be contacted) at the time that lpd is started. Check to see if this is the case for any of the remote printers defined in /etc/printcap Remote printing only works for me with lpr-0.41 on the server and lpr-0.35-1 on the client. If I put lpr-0.41 on the client, it leaves a df* file in the server spool dir, but nothing prints. No complaints in syslog either way. jweber.edu What is the df* file's name? You say that there are no cf* files to correspond to it? OK, could you upgrade to the lpr-0.42-1 RPMs at ftp://people.redhat.com/notting/lpr/ http://people.redhat.com/notting/lpr/ and then restart lpd? These should work. Should be fixed in the 0.43-2 errata release. |
Redhat 6.0 Linux 2.2.7-1.23smp glib-1.2.1-2 lpr-0.41-1 HP LaserJet 2100 PS I followed the bug-thread regarding lpr and went and grabbed the lpr-0.41 SRPMS from rawhide.redhat.com, but I still looks like lpd dies and/or I cannot print to remote printers. Here is my printserver /etc/printcap: lp|laserjet:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=laserjet:\ :rp=raw:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter: Here is the /etc/printcap on one of the workstations: lp|laserjet:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=printserver.real-time.com:\ :rp=laserjet:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter: printserver% lpq king: Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st tanner 0 thief.qeFdla 2nd tanner 1 thief.pLWcth 4th tanner 13 ... 0 bytes JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port workstation% lpq connection to printserver.real-time.com is down printserver% ps -aux | grep lpd root 29874 0.0 0.5 1464 660 lpd -l It seems to that a lpq kills the remote lpd. Restarting lpd things work for awhile, then they die again.
