Hello all,
I'm doing my first steps with LPRng.
I set up a linux box as LPRng print server to handle
print jobs from other linux machines as well as from HP SysV
workstations.
The linux part seems to work quite well, especially the -Z options
to choose the tray, duplex printing etc. But using the print options
on the HPs (lp -o ...) doesn't have any influence on the printout.
Why do I think it should work ?
There is small note in the LPRng-HOWTO (4.25. Z Options, the ifhp Filter, and
SysV Compatibility) which says (if I understood correctly) that
prefix_s_to_z (miss-spelled? but I tried prefix_o_to_z too)
would translate -o into -Z options.
Maybe one of you can tell me how to solve this.
The linux box is running RedHat 6.2 with latest versions of LPRng and ifhp
(LPRng-3.6.22,ifhp-3.3.19). The printcap is
myprinter|lp:
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs
:rm=ip.addr.of.printer
:rp=raw
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/myprinter
:mx#0:sh
:ff_separator
:lpd_bounce
:ifhp=model=hp5simx,status@
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:prefix_o_to_z
Thanks, Philipp.
