Hi again!<snip>
This is now the short version of my first mail. Sorry for flooding your inbox. I just updated my SUSE 7.2 box from the old lpd to lprng with suse's lprng-3.8.12-37.rpm package. Since then I can not print anymore. Of course I adapted my apsfilter and printcap. I would be very glad about any kind of help!! Thanks in advance!
Here is what happens after I use "lpr -V -Pmono a.ps":
LPRng-3.8.12, Copyright 1988-2002 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed error 'ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA' sending str '^Bmono' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] job failed - error 'ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA' sending str '^Bmono' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "
Here is my printcap entry for my usb hp dj930c in mono mode:
mono|default|lp|hpijs a4 auto mono 300 draft plain both:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpijs-a4-auto-mono-300-draft-plain-both:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hpijs-a4-auto-mono-300-draft-plain-both/log\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/hpijs-a4-auto-mono-300-draft-plain-both/acct\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/hpijs-a4-auto-mono-300-draft-plain-both:\ :lp=/dev/usb/lp0:la@:mx#0:tr=:cl:sh:force_localhost
The first line of your printcap entry doesn't look right to me. It seems you want to have alias mono, default, lp but what you have(or what the newer Lprng thinks you have) is alias mono,default,lp,hpijs - which you probably don't want. Checkout the printcap howto that came with the most recent version of lprng. SuSE 7.2 *is* kinda old now - you might consider just upgrading everything, not just lpr. I am using the 8.0 verison and even it's still a bit archaic(but it does work).
