Hello, I've got a Debian user with a problem with printing to a remote printer who also needs a filter. He's using the lpd_bounce flag in it, I suspect not breaking up the client and server into two entries is causing problems.
First of all, can you use bounce queues with the TCP port turned off? What is the client entry in that case? I was looking at http://www.lprng.com/LPRng-HOWTO-Multipart/lpdbounce.htm for some help and will make some comments. I think it needs some more words to explain things better, suggestions include: * How the job weaves it way through, something like: user types lpr <filename>, lpr finds the first line in the printcap and uses this because the second entry is for servers only, it sends the job to printer bounce at bouncehost (what is bouncehost? localhost?). server takes job and (for some reason) chooses second printcap entry. it uses the lpf filter and stores the job temporarily in (/var/spool/lpd/bounce ??) before sending onto remote printer at lp at server with hostname "remote". * What other flags effect it? like lpd_port in lpd.conf or force_localhost. * A warning that not having the first line and having no "server" in the second will break things. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
