Hi there,

I'm experiencing fairly major problems after upgrading from
LPRng-3.8.21 to LPRng-3.8.26.

I have a print queue named bptest which was working fine under 3.8.21.
I've now upgraded the server to 3.8.26 (nothing else except the
version of LPRng has changed) and it doesn't seem to work at all:

[kant]toby: lpq -Pbptest
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - 
error 'ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA' sending '^Hbptest C toby kerberos' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
������
[kant]toby:

On further investigation on the server side, I did note that checkpc
on the server is now giving me an error.  I have completely removed
the spool dir and tried to get checkpc to create it again but it still
gives me the error and doesn't create any dirs or files:

[pancakes]root: checkpc -f -V -Pbptest
LPRng-3.8.26, Kerberos5, Copyright 1988-2003 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[pancakes]root:


For info, the printcap information for this printer on the server side
is:

[pancakes]root: echo bptest|pcap-query 
bptest|testing:tc=.hpcommon_nohpdriver:tc=.krbserver
.hpcommon_nohpdriver|tc entry for HP printers (uses socket interface on 
printer):lp=%P.inf.ed.ac.uk%9100:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:sh:mx=0:mc=0:if=/usr/share/printing/psif:stalled_time#600:ac=acct
.krbserver|kerberos server-side auth data:kerberos_keytab=/etc/lpd.keytab
[pancakes]root:


Although what the connection between a tempdir and the spool directory
is, I don't know.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Many thanks in advance
