Hi,

btw. does any one know what tool to use to trace IP
packetes from mac os 9?
I want to see why the mac os 9 LPR client is working fine
with a HP 8000 series but not with LPRng or BSD lpd.

I connected a hub and traced two situations (ethereal): mac -> HP printer mac -> linux / lprng setup

the most significant difference I see is that the linux
box sends a TCP/ACK after receiving a "jobcmd" from the
mac instead of sending a LPD/ACK or LPD response.
I don't know about TCP handshake, but may be thats the
origin of the problem!?

mac -> HP
---------
 mac -> HP: TCP/SYN
 HP -> mac: TCP/SYN,ACK
 mac -> HP: LPD/jobcmd
 HP -> mac: LPD/response (byte 00)
 mac -> HP: LPD/jobcmd/control file
 HP -> mac: LPD/response (byte 00)
 .. runs fine until the end..

mac -> linux
------------
 mac -> linux: TCP/SYN
 linux -> mac: TCP/SYN,ACK
 mac -> linux: LPD/jobcmd
 linux -> mac: TCP/SYN
 mac -> linux: LPD/jobcmd
 linux -> mac: TCP/SYN
 linux -> mac: LPD/response (byte 00)
 mac -> linux: LPD/jobcmd/control file
 linux -> mac: LPD/response (byte 00)
 linux -> mac: LPR/jobcmd: transfer of .. failed
 mac -> linux: TCP/ACK
 mac -> linux: TCP/FIN,ACK
 linux -> mac: TCP/ACK


any comments?
