Hi, i'm currently setting up a network based printing service and i'm having some weird problems. The basis for this network is a HP 8150 printer and a unix service running LPRNg and some accounting scripts. I've set up the printer with a printcap entry as follows:
:create_files=true :lp=printer-09%9100 :lf=/var/log/lpd-%P.log :ifhp=model=hp8150,accounting=/usr/local/libexec/filters/actualizaQuotas.py :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp -Tdebug=4 :of=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp -Tdebug=4 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P :db=1 :mc=0 Problem is sometimes the printer processes the jobs normally, but sometimes (can't quite figure out under what circunstances) the printer just won't sync with lprng, leaving the jobs stalled. I gather from the debuging info that ifhp spits that the printer isn't responding to the pjl echo command. We're using the latest firmware and jetdirect firmware. Is it best if i set up some raw ports for the printing? Or should i use the printer lpr service? Can anyone give me a hand?
