I have upgraded to

LPRng 3.6.24

and I get the following error which I did not get with 3.6.22

Printer: lp@server01
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
 Status: job 'root@server01+872', attempt 3, allowed 3 at 15:20:18.290
 Status: send_failure_action 'JREMOVE' at 15:20:18.290
 Status: job 'root@server01+872', removing job - status JREMOVE at
15:20:18.290
 Status: removing job 'root@server01+872' - JREMOVE at 15:20:18.291
 Filter_status: pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 15:19:58.290
 Filter_status: setting up printer at 15:19:58.290
 Filter_status: getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 15:19:58.290
 Filter_status: no response from printer at 15:20:18.283


My printcap is as follows so that status should not be requested.

/etc/printcap
lp      :lp=printer01.hattaway-associates.com%9100
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
        :ifhp=model=hp4,status@
        :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp

1070|Ps
        :lp=printer01.hattaway-associates.com%9100
        :sh:mx=0
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/samba

The printer is a Brother1070 connected to a SEH IC9-ETHERPRINT external
printserver.

The second entry is for smb so that no filtering is done as the windows
pscript driver produces errors so I use the windows
driver supplied by brother therefore no filtering is needed. This entry
works.

Has there been a change in the effect of status@ I have checked the
documentation and it is still supposed to have the same effect.


The error disappears if I change the  ifhp line to

:ifhp=model=hp4,sync@,waitend@,pagecount@,status@

So presumably there is a possible bug?
