Hi All
I'm getting this same problem, ifhp doesn't seem to be interpreting
the @DEVFD3 as the LPRng output device, and is instead sending the
output to a file in the spool directory with the name @DEVFD3.
I an using Red Hat 7.3 with:
LPRng-3.8.9-3
ifhp-3.5.8-1
The gs command in ifhp.conf is:
/usr/bin/gs -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q
'-sOutputFile=@DEVFD3' 3>&1 1>&2 -sPAPERSIZE=\%L{papersize}
-sDEVICE=\%s{gs_device} \%s{gs_options} -
Now in ifhp-3.4.4 the gs command was:
/usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dBATCH -sOutputFile=- -sPAPERSIZE=\%L{papersize}
-sDEVICE=\%s{gs_device} \%s{gs_options} -
Which works !!!
Was there a reason that this was changed ???
Regards
Alan
