Hi there, I am seeing a problem where 'lpc -a status' doesn't work, but referring to printers individually does. Here's an example to clarify:
[kant]toby: lpc -a status [EMAIL PROTECTED]: spool queue for 'fh2' does not exist on server kant.inf.ed.ac.uk non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [EMAIL PROTECTED]: spool queue for 'jc4' does not exist on server kant.inf.ed.ac.uk non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' ... and so on and on for all the printers in our printcap. Whereas if I refer to them individually.... [kant]toby: lpc -Pfh2 status Printer Printing Spooling Jobs Server Subserver Redirect Status/(Debug) [EMAIL PROTECTED] enabled enabled 0 none none [kant]toby: lpc -Pjc4 status Printer Printing Spooling Jobs Server Subserver Redirect Status/(Debug) [EMAIL PROTECTED] enabled enabled 0 none none jc4c Firstly, it's probably important to note that our printcap entry is actually a program (all our printcap details are stored in LDAP). So in our lpd.conf, we have: printcap_path=| -$ /usr/bin/pcap-query So, for some reason the lpc -a is failing, although it's clearly getting the list of queuenames correctly as I get a message for them all. 'echo all|pcap-query' works as specified too. Can anyone help here?
