I have an external chooser program that is called for the load balancing queues. This worked great, when there were less than 10 jobs in the queue. I tested it for weeks like this.
Now suddenly LPRng has started to send a list of no printers to the chooser's STDIN even though both serving queues are free. This seem to happen when there are 20 or more jobs in the load balancing queue. It continues to send an empty printer list for 2-3 minutes even though both serving queues are empty. Then finally LPRNg sends a list of the now two free printers to the script so it can choose. This effectivly halts any printing for 2-3 minutes. Anyone run into this? I tried changing chooser_interval from default 10 seconds to 2 seconds, but difference. It works great when the number of jobs in the load balancing queue are few. If I turn off the chooser script and let LPRNG round-robin it works without problems and jobs are moved to the serving queues without delay. Suggestions?
