System:
- Debian GNU/Linux 2.2; kernel 2.2.16 with USB backport patches
- LPRng 3.6.20
- ifhp 3.3.17
- Lexmark Optra E312 on /dev/usb/lp0
printcap:
===
lexmark
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0
:if=/usr/local/lib/filters/ifhp -Tmodel=lexmark_optra_e312
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lexmark
:cm=Lexmark Optra E312 (USB)
:rw
:sh
===
If I set up LPRng to use ifhp as an input filter, ifhp fails to obtain
sync from the printer.
===
using model 'lexmark_optra_e312' at 21:42:51.623
pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 21:42:51.625
setting up printer at 21:42:51.625
getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 21:42:51.625
[... and that's where it stops.]
===
If I then cancel the job and cat /dev/usb/lp0, I get
===
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE
CODE=10023
DISPLAY="Busy"
ONLINE=TRUE
@PJL ECHO [EMAIL PROTECTED]
@PJL INFO PAGECOUNT
33
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE
CODE=10001
DISPLAY="Ready"
ONLINE=TRUE
===
... so sync *is* coming back; LPRng/ifhp just aren't seeing it.
If I set ifhp to sync@, pagecount@, waitend@, the job prints.
If I change the printcap so that
:lp=|/usr/local/lib/filters/ifhp
-Tmodel=lexmark_optra_e312,dev=/dev/usb/lp0
and remove the if= entry, the job prints, but ifhp doesn't even bother
trying to get sync/pagecount/waitend.

...which is contrary to the status, pagecount, waitend configuration in
ifhp.conf.
Various debug logs have shown nothing particularly enlightening, but then
I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.
Thoughts?
TIA,
