LPRng: The Ricoh Aficio 1232C dosen't work

[Bengt Olsson]

Hello

I'm running LPRng-3.8.1 on solaris2.6 and I can't get the Ricoh printer to work.

The printing jobs get stalled in the print queue after some time.
I  have other printers as works fine.

I'm a LPRng newbie so I send a complete copy of the printcap file, so you can comment it and see "the working bit" of it.

But it is the Ricoh(hughes) printers who is the problem.

Some filter problem?

The PS format shall work?

Does a uppgrade of LPRng help?


My printcap file looks like this:


# Method 1: force client transfer to localhost
#    have server send to real printer
##    both client and server will see the following information
 remote|Spool to localhost
   :[EMAIL PROTECTED]

# Note that only the server will see the following information
lp:server:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sd=/usr/spool/lp
