Still desperately seeking help on this after some 20+ hours of trying.
Configuration:
- LPRng 3.8.4
- Solaris test server running Solaris 7
- All vestiges of old print system removed
- Installed LPRng just fine
- no filters (and ifhp not installed)
- Can print anything *from host* (eg. lpr -Plp test.ps)
/usr/local/etc/printcap file currently looks like this:
.common:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:sh:mx=0:mc=0
lp:tc=.common:lp=saturnp1.uvm.edu%9100\
:send_data_first:
lablaser:tc=.common:lp=saturnp1.uvm.edu%9100
:send_data_first:
laserq:tc=.common:lp=132.198.103.204%9100\
:send_block_format:\
:send_data_first:
laserq2:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:mx#0
:sh
:rm=132.198.103.204
:rp=RAW
:longnumber
:send_block_format:
Printers are in chronological order - i.e. the printcap reflects what I
have been trying in order to get it to work.
Problem: Anything other than a UNIX client always leaves this in the lpq
-Pall -V call:
Status: laserq2: Check_for_missing files: missing data file
'dfA000001ip104026.uvm.edu' at 12:52:11.362
The clients I'm trying to use at the moment are a MacOSX box (printer
setup is accomplished using the Print Center utility and setting a printer
'LPR printer using IP') and/or a Macintosh running OS9.2.2 (printer setup
using Desktop Printer Utility and also LPR printer using IP). I need to
have these clients working and *then* I have to see if I can get Windows
98 clients working using Samba (not even at that point yet).
It *appears* that what is happening is that any and all files sent from
the Mac clients wind up with a 0 byte size data file. But no amount of
(re)configuring changes that. And with a 0 file size, nothing happens.
I'd be appreciative of _any_ advice. At this point, I'm willing to try
anything that might have a chance of getting this to work. It's hard to
believe that LPRng is only useful for UNIX clients, but that is what
appears to be the case.
