Can you give me a few more details? 1. what version of LPRng are you running? 2. When you do 'lpq -lll' or 'lpq -L' what is the status for the jobs that are 'discarded'? Is it 'JFAIL'? 3. Try setting :send_try=1 and :send_failure_action=|/usr/libexec/filters/senderror in the printcap rather than the lpd.conf file:
lp: :send_try=1 :send_failure_action=|/usr/libexec/filters/senderror :... This is a better method than setting a global default for all queues. > From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 27 13:36:56 2001 > Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2001 21:46:18 +0200 > From: Florian Diesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: LPRng: JTIMEOUT and send_failure_action > > Hi! > > I'm using LPRng-3.8.0 and ifhp-3.4.7 on Solaris 8/Sparc with a HP4050. > > It seems that after JTIMEOUT my send_failure_action isn't executed.
