I'm having a problem accessing printcap information from the NIS
database and I was wondering if anybody else out there could shed some
light on the matter. Currently I'm using LPRng 3.6.24 on a Solaris 2.6
system, with the NIS/printcap information from Paul Haldane in the
HOWTO's.
The problem occurs whenever the value 'all' is passed as a key in the
NIS map. This happens whenever lpd starts, lpq -a, lpc reread, lpc
status all, etc. When lpd is started via command line (vice lpc reread),
it spits out and error and continues to run. At this time if I run lpq
-P print_queue, lpr -P print_queue print_job, etc. all is fine.
error message:
Filterprintcap: filter '|/opt/LPRng/etc/printcap.filter' failed - No
such file or directory
I checked out an older version of LPRng (LPRng 3.6.12) with the same
results, different error message:
Can't match key all in map printcap.byname. Reason: no such key in map.
Filterprintcap: filter process exited with status 1
My first impression is how LPRng handles wildcard or all encompassing
readings of the printcap database, but I'm not a code junkie and can not
find anything useful in the source code. Truss or Debug output can be
available upon request.
Any help or information is appreciated.
