This release solves a couple of problems caused by the addition of the LPQ status caching. If you are using LPRng 3.6.22 or LPRng 3.6.23 please upgrade to this release. Also added support for parallel port printers, but it appears that it is mostly useless unless you use the ifhp filter.

LPRng-HOWTO - added section on how to configure Solaris lp printing to communicate with LPRng. (Changes courtesy of: Gerald Damian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) Typo in gethostinfo.c spotted. (Courtesy of the debugging talents of: Robin Sommer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) And I removed the wrong line so that the data files were not being deleted when a job was completed. Helps to read the control file and get the data file names... (Pointed out by: Thomas Emmel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) There was a 'cut and pasteo' that caused me to use the wrong value to get trim lpq status. (Core dump and clues supplied by: John Perkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) LPRng HOWTO - added small section on setting up Solaris lp queues to forward jobs to LPRng/BSD printers. IPV6 Support fixed up a bit to actually work... (Spotted during testing, now that we actually have IPV6 working on our router.) Added a 'flush cached status' when a spool server exits. Now you get the correct status when there is no active server. Modified the 'Read_write_timeout' code to be consistent with reading status from parallel port printers the way that the ifhp filter does it. Found a minor sillyness in the 'send_to_logger()' code - I carefully format data and then toss it way. Now I do checks first. Fixed up lpq status generation - only read a small part of the status file for information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
