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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
