Description Karl O. Pinc 2002-04-17 14:03:31 UTC

Description of Problem:

Printing larger print jobs hangs the print queue.  FWIW, I've been
hanging at around 8 pages of openoffice spreadsheet output.
The problem may be kernel related (see url's below) or may
simply be related to the ljet4 printer driver.

FYI,  I've installed devfsd-1.3.18-1 and made a few other
changes noted in the urls above.  But I believe I had
the problem before installing devfsd.  Another person
with the problem makes no mention of any changes, seems
to be running stock RH 7.2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
LPRng-3.7.4-28

How Reproducible:
Random, but will happen if you print a 100 page document.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-04-17 14:31:52 UTC

One of the messages in that thread suggested editing 
/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper and changing 
 
  /dev/fd/3 
 
to 
 
  '|cat >&3' 
 
in the call to ghostscript.  Could you please try that?  My guess is that this 
change will have no effect, but I would like to be able to rule it out so we 
can look at other things.  Thanks.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2002-04-17 16:38:49 UTC

Sorry, I mean /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper.  There is a line: 
 
          $_ = '-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3';        # quoted properly below... 
 
Please try changing it to: 
 
          $_ = "-sOutputFile='|cat >&3'";        # quoted properly below... 
 
(note the single-quotes versus double-quotes)

Comment 3 Karl O. Pinc 2002-04-17 17:50:46 UTC

That keeps my ps document from printing.  /var/spool/lpd/lp/status.lp says:
IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'foomatic-gswrapper: gs '-dBATCH' 
'-dSAFER' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sDEVICE=ljet4' '-sOutputFile=\'|cat >&3\'' '-' 3>&1 
1>&2' at 2002-04-17-12:20:30.728 ## A=<NULL> number=498 process=21547
IF filter 'mf_wrapper' filter msg - 'sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while 
looking for matching `''' at 2002-04-17-12:20:30.731 ## A=<NULL> number=498 
process=21547


but


          $_ = '-sOutputFile="|cat >&3"';

gets no errors.  But nothing prints, tho /var/spool/lpd/lp/status.lp claims
it prints.

Finally,

          $_ = '-sOutputFile=|cat >&3';

prints.

Ok.  I've tried printing the grub manual (version .90, via 'make dvi' and 
'dvips') twice.
Printing hangs on page 7 both times.

Here it is hanging:

Here's a ps I haven't filtered just so I don't delete anything.
The printer is hanging at this point.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-04-19 14:45:19 UTC

Okay, so that rules out the /dev/fd/3 thing being a problem.  That's what I'd  
hoped.  Please edit the file and change it back the way it was (i.e.  
/dev/fd/3).  
  
When you have done that, please attempt a print job that you think will stall,  
and when it does stall find the process ID of the lpd processing the job (the 
'worker'), and do: 
  
strace -fp 21722 
  
(or whatever PID it is).  Let it go for a few seconds and then stop it with 
control-C.  I want to see if it's stuck in write() or somewhere  
else.  Also useful to interpret that output would be 'ls -l /proc/21722/fd' 
(again, substitute the real PID here). 
  
Using 'ps axf', find the

But see the ++++++ line below!
(strace -fp 2223 seems to 'unhang' the printer!?)

Yup, tried it again, strace -fp on 2223 definately un-hangs
the printer.

Comment 6 Karl O. Pinc 2002-04-19 18:32:46 UTC

Sorry, seem to have pasted the strace twice in that last post. (There's
some sort of galeon bug where pastes don't show...) :(

Anyhow.  I've left the job sitting, stalled, and it eventually 
got removed from the queue.  FYI, here's from status.lp.
(Note timestamps.)

Comment 7 Laurence Tyler 2002-06-06 14:13:54 UTC

I too have this exact same problem. I am running RH 7.2 and a HP LaserJet 1100
printer using the ljet4 driver.
Sometimes I am unable to print even a two page file successfully! I have saved
as much information about a hang as I can (lpq, ps and lsof output), and can
send it to you if it would be useful. I can confirm that trying to 'strace' the
third perl process (the one just before 'sh -c foomatic-gswrapper...')
*consistently* unjams the printing process - but often only for a page, then it
hangs again until the next 'strace'. Suggests something screwy going on with
signals, file I/O and perl....

Please let me know if (and how) you would like the information I have saved.

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2002-06-19 10:12:12 UTC

Could someone please post a pointer to (or attach) a PostScript file that  
triggers this?  Thanks. 
 
lgt.uk: if you still have that information, please do attach it.

Postscript print job that (usually) causes problems. (Was 'zz.ps')

Comment 13 Tim Waugh 2002-06-20 15:02:22 UTC

Thanks. 
 
To try to rule out kernel printer driver problems, please do the following: 
 
1. touch /tmp/lp0 
2. chown lp.lp /tmp/lp0 
3. Adjust the print queue to use a custom device and set it to '/tmp/lp0'. 
4. Try to print something. 
5. See if the job completes. 
6. If so, 'cat /tmp/lp0 > /dev/lp0'

Postscript file that causes printer to hang

Comment 15 Karl O. Pinc 2002-06-20 16:40:04 UTC

Followed your directions to print to /tmp/lp0 and then cat to /dev/lp0.

perlfunc.ps prints without hanging, both to the file and then to the
printer.

Comment 16 Tim Waugh 2002-07-03 15:13:48 UTC

Huh. 
 
It's a shot in the dark, but you could please change any occurrences of '=0' 
to '#0' in /etc/printcap and see if that has any effect?

Comment 17 Karl O. Pinc 2002-07-03 17:39:10 UTC

I thought at first something had changed.  It hung twice, but only for a minute
or two, in the first 7 pages.  Its never started back up by itself before.  But
now it's hung forever.  (This was "man -t perlop | lpr", which I haven't tried
to print before either.)

Comment 19 Tim Waugh 2002-07-10 15:00:42 UTC

Just to rule something else out, please put the file I just attached in 
/usr/share/printconf/util/jetdirectprint --- overwrite the file that's already there.  Make it 
executable with 'chmod a+x ...'.

Comment 20 Karl O. Pinc 2002-07-10 16:36:54 UTC

Still hanging.  This time it seemed to pause for a minute or so after every page
but the first until it really hung...

Comment 21 Tim Waugh 2004-12-08 13:54:28 UTC

Is this still a problem?

Changing product to Fedora Core 3.

Comment 22 Dmitri A. Sergatskov 2005-02-18 01:33:23 UTC

Yes. FC3, cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8.5, printing to HP 8000 (JetDirect)
through a pipe (i.e. printing pdf in ggv) of rather large documents (>10
pages) more often then not hangs the print queue. Printing to the 
same printer via RH9 box (cups-1.1.17-13.3.0.3) looks fine (at least 
much better).

Comment 23 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:21:21 UTC

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Comment 24 John Thacker 2006-10-29 20:48:34 UTC

Closing per lack of response to previous comment.  FC3 and FC4 are supported for
security purposes only by Fedora Legacy.  If the bug is a security bug, please
reopen and assign to Fedora Legacy.  If the bug still occurs in FC5 or FC6,
please reopen and assign to the appropriate version.  Thank you.
