I am using lprng 3.7.4 on SUSE 7.2 (kernel 2.4.4) to print to two remote printers. 1 is a label printer connected to a HP170x print server and the other is a HP 6P connected to a HP170x print server.
Both work however intermittently the printing stops to the HP 6P. When I do a lpq -L -Pxxx I see that the job has stalled and is awaiting a response to either "Status: requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 12:12:16.401" or even the next line that is "Status: sending control file 'cfA329pallas' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 12:12:19.461". If I turn the printer off and on it seems to then start working again. I have read issues with TCPIP timeouts and wonder if something like that is happening here. Does anyone have any problems with this particular printer? I am using a printcap with rm and rp and have tried direct socket printing as well (9100). Same problem. NB : I am not using the ifhp filter at all. Would this help?
