Hi;
Trying to work with LPRng from the RedHat 7.1beta (LPRng-3.7.4)
connecting to a legacy SunOS 4.1.4 system running Sun's old, 1994, LPD.
This system is stable and printing works for all clients, except the new
LPRng client.
Unfortunately, all printouts seem to go into a black hole. I have tried
adding the :send_data_first: option as recommended in the FAQ, but it
doesn't seem to help. It appears, from looking at some lpq diagnostics
(below), that the SunOS system is trying to print the control file.
Pointers/recommendations most welcome.
Bob
(There is one statement in the FAQ saying, "Note that some
printers/servers INSIST on the control file first; You can clear the flag
using send_job_first@ if you need to.", but I don't have a clue as to what
that means and, since example one below shows the control file being sent
first, probably does not apply.)
