I have put LPRng-3.6.22 and ifhp-3.3.19 into production and they are working
well. I have two strange problema that I'd like Patrick to take a look at.
1) I had a print job that was a runaway. Some user turned off the printer to
stop it. When the user did an LPQ they got the following status back:
Printer: laser7@mercury 'Next to FAX'
Queue: 11 printable jobs
Server: pid 8507 active
Unspooler: pid 8518 active
Status: cannot open 'laser7%2501' - 'Connection timed out', attempt 1, sleeping
10 at 16:32:13.129
Filter_status: (of) FD 1 IS CLOSED!!! LOGIC ERROR IN CODE!!! at 16:23:02.770
Unfortunately I did not get to the status log before it have rotated. When I
turned the printer back on and 'lprm'ed the bad job the rest of the jobs in the
queue printed just fine.
2) On my HPIVsi I often have a problem where a job prints but ifhp hangs out
afterward waiting for the page count status to come back. It misses (or it is
never sent) the feedback from the printer and has to time out. The lpq command
often returns "code = 30010, 'status buffer overflow'" when this condition
happens. On the next attempt to get status it's successful and printing
continues. The printercap is:

It's annoying to have to wait for the timeouts between jobs. It doesn't happen
all the time but it's frequent enough, especially on small jobs, to be a pain.
Any ideas?
