OK, this may be a dumb question. We recently, for the first time, started seeing a problem that's been discussed in this list: the printer is busy, or out of paper, or off, and jobs are removed from the queue because of this. The solution given, which we've now implemented, was to set save_on_error in lpd.conf.
Up to a point, this works. The jobs no longer vanish out of the queue. Instead, they sit there saying "ERROR: removing job due to errors". The only way I've found to actually print them is to identify the data file in the spool directory, copy it out, & print that. This isn't acceptable. I'm sure there's a way around this, but I can't find it. If I do an "lpc release" on them, they sit there in the queue with a rank listing "remove" (and I think they're eventually removed, though I'm not sure). What should I be doing? I've got people breathing fire down my neck on this. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [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.
