> Hello Patrick,
>
> I want to ask you a question about lprng running on a redhat 7.1 distro.
> We installed the latest version of lprng (3.3.7)
> The application we are using likes to make "big" printjobs , for instance
> printing 1000 labels , each label has it's own printjob.
>
> We got the error " lpd not accessible" exactly as you described in the
> HOWTO. LPD does not respond afther about 600 labels.
> Your solution was to increase the ip (return)ports via lpd.conf .
> As you wrote default lprng is using more ports range ...-1023 but that
> seems not enough in our case.
>
> We now set the range from 20000-49000 and the problem seems to be solved.
>
> my question is , do you think our solution can be safely done ?
> Do you have an other (better) solution for this ?

You will have problems when you try to connect to other non-LPRng
systems that will require you to have ports in this range. However,
you can do the following for this:
1. Set the default port range to 0 in /etc/lpd.conf
# Purpose: orginate connections from these ports
# default originate_port=512 1023 (STRING)
originate_port=0
2. In the printcap for the systems that require you originate
from a resevered port, put:
lp:
:originate_port=512 1023
This is the general solution to this problem.
