Hello,
I have a problem with a new printer at our institute and it would be great, if
anyone on the list could help me.
Our secretary has got a new network printer (HP LaserJet 1200N) called grass.
After work the printer is switched off. Sending a job to the printer via our
central printing server (augur) results in the complete loss of the job. Is
there a way to keep the job in the queue until the printer is switched on
again?
The relevant part of the printcap:
grass_simplex|grass_s|grass
:cm PostScript HP LaserJet 1200N Guenther Grass (Room 1316) simplex
:server:mx#0:rw
:lpd_bounce
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs-%P
:filter=/usr/local/bin/magicfilter:\
:lp=grass_raw@augur
grass_raw
:cm PostScript HP LaserJet 1200N Guenther Grass (Room 1316) raw
:server:mx#0:rw
:lpd_bounce
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs-%P
:lp=raw@grass
I have also attached the output of two consecutive `lpq -lll -Pgrass_simplex`
calls.
Thanks,
Torsten
