Description dunwoody 2000-01-26 13:45:21 UTC

The problem might well be in the configuration of our systems here
at SGI, but moving from lpr-0.48-1.i386.rpm to lpr-0.50-1.i386.rpm
causes printing from my RawHide system to remote printers to stop
working.  I backed off to lpr-0.48-1.i386.rpm and everything works fine.

Here is my /etc/printcap file:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
beetlejuice:mx#0:rm=rugrats:rp=beetlejuice:
graphite:mx#0:rm=balzac:rp=graphite:
hamster:mx#0:rm=rugrats:rp=hamster:
mrpink:mx#0:rm=rugrats:rp=mrpink:
tallyho:mx#0:rm=rugrats:rp=tallyho:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

With the PRINTER env-var set to tallyho, I tried "lpr ~/.bashrc",
which seemed to work fine and put the appropriate files in
/var/spool/lpd, and lpd was running, but running "lpq" produced
the following error:

c130441-j:/1> lpq
dunwoody1.engr.sgi.com: Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    dunwoody   88   .bashrc                               3986 bytes

and of course nothing printed.

All of the rpms on my system are up to date with the latest RawHide
as of this writing (2000/01/26 0500 PST).

0.50-2 fixes this.
