From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: I created a print queue via the gui print configuration tool. The queue is of type JetDirect, i.e., rawprint port 9100. When I use lpr to send a print job that has back channel data to this print queue, linux will immediately abort the network connection when the back channel data is sent to it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.lpr a postscript job with back channel to a JetDirect print queue. 2.If the back channel occurs early, not all of the pages will print because linux drops the connection. 3. Actual Results: For example, an 18 page job will never print all 18 pages. It may range from 15 5o 17 depending upon the amount of print data presently in the printer network stack when linux aborts the connection. This is seem with Postscript printers made by Sharp and HP. Expected Results: All 18 pages should have printed with a network closure after all of the print data was sent. Additional info:
This is fixed in the current beta. I expect we'll do a bug-fix advisory in due course.
