i compared the /etc/printcap of two machines on which printtool was configured the same way. the only difference between the two environments was that one was running redhat 6.2 and the other 7.0. i found that 7.0 had an extra line "lpd bounce=true." after taking this line out, the 7.0 machine was able to print correctly. This might well be the same as bug #35636. chad.bagwell: I have updated LPRng to 3.8.4, and this fixes a bug concerning lpd_bounce. If you can, please test the next release (or beta release, if there is one) and reopen this bug if it persists. |
i am able to access a network printer with redhat 6.2, but i cannot access the same printer with redhat 7.0. printtool has the same configuration in both cases. when i type: lpr -Pprinter file another prompt is returned. eg: [marea@chorizo ~]$ lpr -Pvangogh netMot.txt [marea@chorizo ~]$ when i type: lpq -Pprinter it is unable to connect to the printer. eg: [marea@chorizo ~]$ lpq -Pvangogh Printer: vangogh@chorizo (dest vangogh.mot.com) Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 1246 active Unspooler: pid 1248 active Status: attempt 2, sleeping 10 before retry at 11:17:49.660 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active(attempt-2) marea@chorizo+245 A 245 netMot 290 11:17:49 Printer 'vangogh.mot.com' - cannot open connection - Connection timed out
