I've had this setup working fine for about a year and a half and now it's acting up.
I have a network printer HP4600 running lpd internally and a central mail server running woody and lprng:
printcap: ##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {} lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :sh :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct :ml=0 :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp/ :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter :
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {} lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 :sh :ml=0 :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter :
These were set up with lprngtool.
I have clients pointing to the central mail server (mail) and their printcap looks like this:
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 600x600 letter {} PostScript Default {} lp|PostScript|HP4600 Color LaserJet :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :sh :ml=0 :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter :
##LPRNGTOOL## REMOTE TEXT NAxNA letter {} TextPrinter Default {} lp0|PlainText|HP4600 Color LaserJet :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 :sh :ml=0 :mx=0 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/acct :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp0/log :cd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0 :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :if=/usr/share/lprngtool/master-filter :
I fixed broken mail in the past by tweaking /etc/lprng/lpd.perms commenting out the line: REJECT NOT SERVER
I have now modified the file to read:
ACCEPT SERVICE=* DEFAULT ACCEPT
And still no printing from remote clients.
Printing the test page from the server mail.rcwm.com works.
I can follow the job thru the que. And it appears to be attempting to send the job to the printer over and over again until it errors out like so:
