In an effort to solve a problem I upgraded both ifhp and lprng and found
another problem !
Original config : LPRng-3.6.19 and ifhp-3.3.17
new config : LPRng-3.6.24 and ifhp-3.3.21
Loaded on a redhat 6.2 system attempting to print to a HP8000 connected
to a extendnet print server. Packages were all loaded via rpm.
With the old configuration and the following printcap I could print successfully :
deslz:
:lp=deslz%9100
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/deslz
:mx#0
:bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
:ifhp=model=hp8000,status@
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
However with the new ifhp in 3.3.21 printing is not successful - substituting the
ifhp from 3.3.17 works(ie /usr/libexec/filters/ifhp ).
Below I include the status files from /usr/spool/lpd/deslz.
Any ideas ?
The original problem I was trying to solve was how to print from any other input
tray then the default ie letter in tray 2. The printer(from the config page) has
letter in tray 2 and 11x17 in tray 3.
With the original config I attempted :
lp -oinlower file
lp -ointray3 file
lp -o11x17 file
lp -opaper=11x17 file
All with no success ... thought that maybe an upgrade to 21 was the answer :(
