I am experimenting with LPRng release 3.6.26 under Solaris 2.6. I found a
bug that prevents using a program in place of an actual device, that is,
if the printcap has
:lp=|-$/opt/usl/bin/bppcat /dev/bpp0
then Printer_open() will always think the open has failed. This is because
the variable device_fd wasn't set in the '|' case. Here's a context diff
of a patch:
--- src/common/lpd_jobs.c Thu Oct 19 16:15:06 2000

*** 2248,2253 ****
--- 2248,2254 ----
if( (close( in[0] ) == -1 ) ){
LOGERR_DIE(LOG_INFO)"Printer_open: close(%d) fai
led", in[0]);
}
+ device_fd = in[1];
break;
case '/':
