I was watching a documentary about poisonous jellyfish in Australia's
Great Barrier reef last night... After reading the 'lpd_port=0',
I had an entertaining vision of trolling the reef using the user
who did this one as bait.
Naw... the place is polluted enough already :=)
Sigh... I put in a sanity check for this in the code. What will
they think of next? I shortened the message up so it is now only
one line:
Printer: t1@h110 'Test Printer 1' (dest lp@h14)
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Server: no server active
Status: t1: getconnection: using illegal port '0' for connection to 'h14'! at
17:54:30.635
Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time
error papowell@h110+44 A 44 ERROR: aborting operations
And I added something to checkpc:
h110: {475} % checkpc
Warning - t1: bad lpd_port value '0'
OK, I suppose that should do it... Sigh...
