Yes, the dreaded LPRng-3.7.1 is available: ftp://ftp.astart.com/pub/LPRng/private/LPRng-3.7.1.tgz If you want to contribute to my ulcers, headaches, etc., as well as assist in the next major debacle... Then please try it. I have been repeatedly asked 'Where is the promised IPP support?" I have gotten half way through the IPP support code, and have run out of time. Contractual agreements to produce miracles of coding/software specifications/beating the slaves looks like they will delay the IPP support until first week in November, when I will surface and return to the land of the living. I hope^H^H^H^H WILL announce the release version at the LISA 2000 conference in December. Beta is probably 4 Nov or so. I just do not have time... I have added a 'gdbm' database to hold the spool queue information. You will notice that when your spool directory contains more than 10,000 files that there is a considerable speedup :-) And with 1,000,000 files.... Ummm... I ran out of memory when I did 1,000,000, files, and need to work on ScanQueue() code just a bit :-) I will probably add another table that contains the status information. But if you raise your process limits to 300 Meg/process and have a 2 Gig swap paratition, it will work. Silly of me to forget about process memory size :-) Back to the drawing pad... The bad news is that if you kill off the LPD server while it has the GDB file open it is corrupted BIG TIME. I have been playing with the SleepyCat Berkeley DB and this appears to be more resiliant to this problem. On the next release I will try SleepyCat, or write the code so you can choose which one using configure. Lpc flush now cleans out the cached lpq status AND the database. The two are, as you might suspect, related.
