The ":lp=" fields in your printcap file should probably look like this
:lp=<ip address of printer>%<port>
or
:lp=123.123.123.123%9100

Subject: LPRng: Problems with LPRng-3.7.3 and --disable-force-localhost
I compiled lprng using:
./configure --disable-gdbm --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
It compiled successfully, I installed it, and began running through
the printcap tutorial.
I am setting up what I suspect is becoming the norm in many
large organizations, several printers that are directly attached to
the network, running their own lpd emulators.
I created the following:
pq_grunts
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=hp4l
pq_management
:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=hp4l
But LPRNG complained that the queue "lp" was undefined. Presuming
that it wanted a default queue, I added an entry for lp that was:
lp
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lp=pq_grunts@localhost
This quieted any errors, but printouts to management (or any other printer)
went to pq_grunts. I then read up on the force_localhost issue, and decided
that I needed to recompile with:
./configure --disable-gdbm --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--disable-force_localhost
It compiled and installed successfully, but whenever I run lpq, it only
prints a "y"
with an umlaut. Which, if I remember from my C days, is the character-ized
output if you try to use what's returned if you read past EOF. In any
event,
What am I doing that could cause this, and what's the easiest way to set up
what
I'm shooting for?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
