Can you turn on DEBUG_TREE & DEBUG_FILTER in the filter file to try and get some more information? Thanks. Changed /var/spool/lpd/lineptr/filter to define the DEBUG variables.
Printed using this command: lpr -Plineptr /etc/issue
Filter DEBUG results:
# cat /tmp/filter.debug
Desired print format is asc
Paper size is letter
A form feed will not be sent.
Magic is | ASCII text|
Magic is | ASCII text|
Type of file is INPUT-to-asc
Best path of depth is cat - | asc-to-printer.fpi
Another love letter from NCR (SVR4) box:
Your printer job (issue)
could not be printed.
Reason for failure:
UX:lpd: ERROR: The following options can't be handled:
-h
TO FIX: The printer(s) that otherwise qualify
for printing your request can't handle
one or more of these options. Try
another printer, or change the options.
Just a quick note: upgrading to lpr-0.43-2 did not help. :( Let me know if there is anything you would like me to do... What happens if you take the :sh: out of the printcap? What happens? Well, it works, that what happens!! :) Thanks much! When printing to a SVR4 lpd printer, remove :sh:?? Works for me... The 'sh' is the suppress headers option; apparently, when sending that to the SVR4 lpd, it translated that into a '-h' option, which it didn't like. Sorry it took so long to come up with this solution. |
I have a remote printer setup on my linux box which prints to a printer on a NCR MP-RAS v3.02 (SVR4 much like UNIXWARE) box. When I print to that printer, I get the following love letter from the NCR box: Your printer job (itin.out) could not be printed. Reason for failure: UX:lpd: ERROR: The following options can't be handled: -h TO FIX: The printer(s) that otherwise qualify for printing your request can't handle one or more of these options. Try another printer, or change the options. I'm using lpr-0.41-2 from rawhide rebuilt on my RH 6.0 machine. the /etc/printcap entry looks like this: ##PRINTTOOL3## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {} lineptr:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lineptr:\ :mx#0:\ :sh:\ :rm=landru:\ :rp=lineptr:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/lineptr/filter: As far as I can remember, this worked fine with RH 5.2 but I don't remember which version of lpr/lpd I was using when it worked... :(
