I have been printing on a deskjet connected to my
parallel port (on an SGI IRIX6.5 box)
for ages (upto 3.6.13)
But now 3.6.14 seems to hang, either
just at the beginning or in between.
I just get
lpq -Pdjraw
Printer: djraw@numa1 'Local Deskjet(PCL)'
Queue: 1 printable job

Here is the corresponding printcap entry
djraw
:cm=Local Deskjet(PCL)
:sd=/var/spool/dj_local:mx#0:sf:sh:
:lp=/dev/plp
And that are the permission on /dev/plp
ls -l /dev/plp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 16 Feb 12 1999 /dev/plp -> /hw/parallel/plp
ls -Ll /dev/plp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 0,185 Jun 15 12:14 /dev/plp
A direct 'cp' to the port works just fine, so there's no hardware
problem.
Is that a problem with 3.6.14 or do I miss something?
Thanks for any hints
