Hi,
I've a problem with remote printers and lprng.
Because I've some remote printers, which are sometimes not online, I
want to keep jobs in the queues. I'm a little bit confused about
documentation and the results of searching the web:
Documentation of 3.8.15 says:
send_try A num 3
number of times to try sending
or printing a job. 0 is infinite.
Okay, send_try=0 is what I want.
Documentation of 3.8.15 says:
connect_interval A num 10
time between open or connection
attempts
I want a bigger timeout between attempts, so I'm using
connect_interval=100.
But:
There are only 3 seconds between open ore connection attempts, here is
part of the log:
cannot open '192.168.0.111%9101' - 'No route to host', attempt 54 at
2002-11-27-
00:50:08.280 ## A=root@linux+498 number=498 process=2500
cannot open '192.168.0.111%9101' - 'No route to host', attempt 55 at
2002-11-27-
00:50:11.280 ## A=root@linux+498 number=498 process=2500
cannot open '192.168.0.111%9101' - 'No route to host', attempt 56 at
2002-11-27-
00:50:14.280 ## A=root@linux+498 number=498 process=2500
The configuration for the printer in printcap:
repr4:
:done_jobs=0
:connect_interval=100
:send_try=0
:rw
:sh
:lp=192.168.0.111%9101
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/repr4
:force_localhost@
:fx=flp
Anybody know, why connect_interval=100 will not be used?
