Well I've tried various settings between 300 to 1200 secs with NO
results. In fact, now we're getting them every couple of minutes.
I'm not sure if this is attributed to 'lprng' or 'ifhp' (I tend to go with
'ifhp'). I've tried bypassing lprng to see if it's printer-related.
`nc hostname 9100 <filename` doesn't seem to exhibit this problem, so
it has to do with the software.
Can someone, who knows or ran into this, offer any solutions?
Do I need any special setting in lpd.conf?
I'm getting nowhere :(
We're running LPRng-3.6.24 and ifhp-3.3.21.
Thanks much,
