Hi, I'm having an issue trying to run fairly current versions of LPRng (3.8.4) and ifhp (3.5.3).
The problem creeps in when I add :ifhp=model=hp8150 :filter=/local/apps/lprng/filters/ifhp If I don't use filter= at all, then the job will print. ASCII jobs do the carriage return stepping problem. PS jobs appear to print fine. When the printer is attached to our production queue, running LPRng (3.5.3) and ifhp (unknown), it all works fine. I would like to upgrade the software the later version though. The full printcap entry I'm using at the moment is... kwd-y106-lj8150dn|8150 :cm=HP8150dn (Y106) :lp=kwd-y106-lj8150dn%9100 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P :as=|/local/apps/lprng/filters/start_accounting.sh :ae=|/local/apps/lprng/filters/stop_accounting.sh :af=accounting.log :ifhp=model=hp8150 :filter=/local/apps/lprng/filters/ifhp I've tried adding status@ to ifhp= but with no benefit. Removing :ae and :as makes no difference. I'm at a loss as to why it just seems to halt. The file "status.kwd-y233-lj8150dn" contains the following:- waiting for subserver to exit at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.747 ## A=<NULL> number=0 process=835 subserver pid 836 starting at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.770 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 accounting at start at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.770 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 Filter_file: pgm '|/local/apps/lprng/filters/start_accounting.sh' exited with status 'JSUCC' at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.928 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 opening device 'kwd-y106-lj8150dn%9100' at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.929 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 printing job 'antony@dinadan+834' at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.938 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 processing 'dfA834dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au', size 146, format 'f', IF filter 'ifhp' at 2002-01-29-14:39:19.939 ## A=antony@dinadan+834 number=834 process=836 The file "status" says this:- using model 'hp8150' at 14:39:20.300 pagecount using 'pjl info pagecount' at 14:39:20.346 setting up printer at 14:39:20.347 getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 14:39:20.347 sync done at 14:39:21.245 pagecounter 0 after 1 attempts at 14:39:21.282 pagecounter 0 at 14:39:21.282 sending job file at 14:39:21.286 starting transfer at 14:39:21.287 lpq says this (even after 5 minutes):- Printer: kwd-y106-lj8150dn@dinadan 'HP8150dn (Y106)' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 835 active Unspooler: pid 836 active Status: processing 'dfA834dinadan.cit.uws.edu.au', size 146, format 'f', IF filter 'ifhp' at 14:39:19.939 Filter_status: starting transfer at 14:39:21.287 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time active antony@dinadan+834 A 834 one.ps 146 14:39:19 The 'data' light on the printer flashes for a few seconds, like it's receiving something, but then that's it. It doesn't start up etc. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try?
