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. |
