I am having a problem getting LPRng lpd to remove rejected jobs automatically.
I want to accept jobs from user "eprod" so the remote client's lp daemon doesn't go into pest mode, but throw the accepted job away and never print it. The jobs get accepted for spooling and the job never prints but the spooled jobs also never disappear. I have to remove them with lprm via a cron job. What am I doing wrong? The lines affecting eprod in the lpd.perms file look like this. ACCEPT SERVICE=R REMOTEUSER=eprod REJECT SERVICE=P REMOTEUSER=eprod An lpq output looks like this. Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time error [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 907 ERROR: no permission to print error [EMAIL PROTECTED] A 908 ERROR: no permission to print The hf file in the spool dir has the following info.
