Hi all,
I am a newbie to lprng. (Although I have been printing thru LPRng
for years now). I have installed a stock Redhat 7.2 (LPRng-3.7.4-28)
and connected it to a lineprinter. The lineprinter is configured as a
plain text printer using printtool from redhat.
The contents of the /etc/printcap:
---------------------------------------------------------
lp:\
:sh:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
--------------------------------------------------------
The printer prints OK most of the times. Ocassionally, the printing stops,
and I get the following in /var/spool/lpd/lp/status.lp for the entire
printing session:

I have no idea what is wrong here.
Kindly shed some light on what is wrong.
TIA
