I installed 7.0 Deluxe Workstation on a Compaq ML370 server. The server is running Samba, xinetd, telnet server, ftp server and apache. The printers involved are HP LJ 4000 and Okidata 320. They are connected via a HP Jetdirect but I can reproduce this problem with the printers attached directly to the server. I noticed that when certain files were printing via lpr the following would print on the page: "No way to print this type of input file: fsav (linux) virus (8224-11-13)" The numbers have been different also (25903-35),(29811-116),(29538-102). After copying the file to different directories, performing chmod and chown with no success I was able to find something. If I lpr'd printcap it would print fine but the file that I was using would print the above message. I altered my file and realized that if the first line contained exactly 8 characters then I would get this message. If I changed the number of characters by more or less than 8 it would print fine. I added a comment of exactly 8 characters on the first line of printcap and then tried to print and I would get the above message. If I created a new file with just an 8 character line then it would print just part of the above message "No way to print this type of input file:" If the file contained additional lines then it would print the full message. Everything else prints fine to these printers so far. The server has been running for about 3 days with 11 people accessing it. This was a replacement for their Novell server. The Samba jobs print fine. Netscape on the server itself prints fine and the ascii test in Printtool prints fine. Thanks for any help - David.
Created attachment 4874 [details] This is the file I was testing with. Any text file with 8 char first line would do it.
See bug 18081. The work-around is to edit your /usr/share/magic file and remove (or put '#' signs in front of) these lines (lines 1833-1856): #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # fsav: file(1) magic for datafellows fsav virus definition files # Anthon van der Neut (anthon) 0 beshort 0x1575 fsav (linux) macro virus >8 leshort >0 (%d- >11 byte >0 \b%02d- >10 byte >0 \b%02d) 8 byte 0x0a >12 byte 0x07 >11 leshort >0 fsav (linux) virus (%d- >10 byte 0 \b01- >10 byte 1 \b02- >10 byte 2 \b03- >10 byte 3 \b04- >10 byte 4 \b05- >10 byte 5 \b06- >10 byte 6 \b07- >10 byte 7 \b08- >10 byte 8 \b08- >10 byte 9 \b10- >10 byte 10 \b11- >10 byte 11 \b12- >9 byte >0 \b%02d) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18081 ***
