Hello,
I have a question about printjob timeouts/aborts with
LPRng (3.6.21): If a printjob takes more than 100 minutes to
print, does LPRng abort the prinjob? (When using lpq -D1 to
query the queue, I am seeing messages saying JTIMEOUT when the
job aborts.)
Before it aborts, an 'lpq' of the queue reports something like:
spool_host ~> lpq -Pprod_printer
Printer: prod_printer@spool_host
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 16173 active
Unspooler: pid 16174 active
Status: processing 'dfA338myhost', size 9334709, format 'f', IF filter 'filter.crlf'
at 11:54:26.408
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
stalled(5782sec) mylogin@myhost+338 A 338 t.lis 9334709 11:54:25
The printer is printing all of this time (the printjob is about 3500 to
4500 pages of output), until the job is aborted.
Perhaps as long as bits/bytes are being written out, the printjob
shouldn't be considered "Stalled"?
The printcap entry for this queue looks like:
prod_printer:force_localhost
prod_printer:server
:bk
:send_data_first
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lp=hp_jet_direct_500ex.mesastate.edu%9101
:lpd_bounce
:sh
:control_filter=/usr/local/libexec/novell/cfilter
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/novell/filter.crlf
The 'control_filter' entry just strips the 'L' entry for printing a
banner page out. The filter.crlf adds a cr/lf to the end of
every line (I might be able to use ifhp, but I'm also doing some
other custom filtering of the printjob at times...). Both filters
read from stdin and write to stdout.
