Hello,

lpr_gwy's the netware module that sends print jobs to a
unix lpd. when I'm using berkeley lpd sometimes
I see in the netware console the message "... will not be sent.
reason: file ___ is of zero lenght".
if I switch to lprng the server won't print this message anymore,
but instead, abends lpr_gwy.

> But WHY is it trying to send a 0 length file?
Good question.. I couldn't find an answer too.

That's exactly the problem. Is LPRng using the same "language" as berkeley
LPD, when sending this error message? I think netware understands a LPD
error, but not a LPRng one.

I'm using the latest version and when we contact their support, they say
"oh, you're running an unsupported OS."

Thanks for your reply,
