Hello everyone
I am new to lprng, and I think it is a wonderful product, so first of all
congratulations to the developers. I've read the HOWTOS and README of
LPRng and IFHP and I have a prototype configuration almost running, but I still
have some questions, so if anyone can help me on this would be great:
1.From what I've read it is impossible to have lpr send the user a message if
saying that he is out of paper quota (depending on what as= filter returns).
Does this mean that I have to write a wrapper around the real lpr to do
the following:
mylpr:
if(the user has paper quota left)
call the real lpr
else
send a message to the user, saying he has no paper left
Is this the only way to accomplish this?
2. I have a PCL only printer (it actually a photocopier that's also a network
printer) that doesn't support accounting. Where can I read something
about software accounting?This printer is configured as model=pcl_gs.
Can I get the number of pages used from gs or a2ps.
3. I have a HP Color Laserjet5m that reports the same page count at the
beginning and at the end of the process. Anyone else has experienced
this problem?
4. I have several old machines that I want to turn to use LPRng instead
of their own lpr,lpd,lpq,lprm suite. Has anyone successfully compiled
LPRng under OSF1 V2.0 ?SunOS4.1.3?
5. I am a complete ignorant about Mac's. Is there an equivalent to samba
for Apple Mac users?
Thanks in advance for any help
