Hi there,

I've bought a Laserjet 4200 to replace the current printer, but am having 
huge problems getting it to work. The problem actually appears to be with 
ifhp rather than lprng, so if I'm in the wrong place, please tell me to get 
lost ;-)

If I use an ifhp model=hp5 setting, it prints fine but ifhp's accounting 
doesn't work since the 4200 'completes' the job before it really has, so 
the page counts don't reflect what they should.

If I change the ifhp settings to use model=hp4200, it doesn't print.  
Either via samba (as the printer is intended to be used), or via lpr from 
the command line.  The job just stalls in the queue.  Lprng spawns a worker 
process, ifhp has been called and is running.  Strace shows it's sitting in 
a loop basically calling stat() on a file called "status", which doesn't 
exist (should it?) and gettimeofday().

Anyone got any hints on things to try, or ways to fix it?

Oh, using ifhp 3.5.15 on a gentoo linux box.

Cheers,

Steve.
