The first problem is that 'o' format was supposed to be reserved for the 'of' filter. The system that is sending the job is requesting an 'o' filter. Of course, the LPRng system is robust, holds its electronic nose, and sends it to the if filter. So it will get processed. Also, you need to use :lp=/dev/null with the appsocket options: Try the following: lp7|Phaser Mayer Hall Lab:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :ifhp=model=phaser850,appsocket,dev=192.168.0.2%9100:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:\ :as=|/usr/local/etc/accounting.pl start:\ :ae=|/usr/local/etc/accounting.pl end:\ :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp:\ :af=acct: Patrick Powell Astart Technologies, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9475 Chesapeake Drive, Suite D, Network and System San Diego, CA 92123 Consulting 858-874-6543 FAX 858-279-8424 LPRng - Print Spooler (http://www.lprng.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
