lpr-0.50 on (an updated) RH61 on a P-133/64Mb lpd is running but doesn't print at all. The files are put in the queue but lpd doesn't do anything with these files, even when lpd is restarted. "lpr-0.48" printed when the lpd was restarted. See my comments in bug #7224. If you want me to do some tests please mail me, because a recompiled RH5.2 lpr-0.33.src.rpm is working perfectly on that machine. Richard.
It wouldn't happen to be dumping core in /var/spool/lpd/wherever, would it?
Created attachment 76 [details] patch to fix lpr-0.50-1
It looks like lpd is running normally, it doesn't dump a core. "lpq" however dumped a core (in /var/spool/lpd/lp1, which was the current dir at the moment it happened) and I have sent this dump already to bero. Richard.
Please try the patch I just posted - does that solve it?
Yep. Richard.
Fixed in lpr-0.50-2.
