Hallo List, I am using LPRng 3.7.4 on a strongarm110-based linux system. I have some questions about configuration and policy of the spooler: 1. I set send_try to 0. Now the daemon does not sleep anymore between the tries to connect to a remote printer. Is this the wanted behaviour (Open_printer() in lpd_jobs.c)? On my arm system the process eats 80-90% cpu-usage if the connection fails. But I don't want the jobs to be removed. 2. Samba uses the "lpr -U%U@%M -P%p -r %s" command. LPRng tries to get the hostname specified by '%M'. If this requeset failes, lpr refuses to print the file. So if my WIN95-Client is not known by a DNS server, this client cannot print. Why can't the user even be "foo@bar" for bannerpages and job history? Has this event to be fatal? 3. "lpc move" still does not work allways properly. Again, here is one queue that points to a disconnected printer and an active daemon tries to connect... Here's my try to move the second job: nina pics# lpc move dummy0 803 dummy1 Printer: dummy0@nina dummy0: selected 'mz@martin+803' dummy0@nina: move done nina pics# lpq -Pdummy0 Printer: dummy0@nina 'Socketprinter port 10000' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 556 active Unspooler: pid 557 active Status: waiting for subserver to exit at 14:18:17.107 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time 1 mz@martin+803 A 803 one.ps 145 14:17:22 2 mz@martin+802 A 802 one.ps 145 14:17:21 If I call "lpc dummy0 abort" first, then the move is done as expected. But I don't want to kill any active job in order to move another. What am I doing wrong? 4. I set "remote_support=R" to speed up lpq requests on many printers. This works fine on all clients around, but on the server himself I get the "- no network support for 'lpq' operation" errormessage. It seems, that the lpq client refuses to connect even to the local lpd. Is there a workaround or parameter I missed? Hope, I haven't missed something too obvious, annoying you with FAQs or so. Thanks in advance for any help. --Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
