Hi, With LPRng version is 3.8.27 on Solaris 8, printing multiple copies through a load balancing queue does not work, only one copy of each file gets printed. The same happens when you 'lpc move' a job to another printer queue. Only one copy gets printed.
My load balancing queue is d105_hp: rzdspc5a# lpc printcap d105_hp Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] d105_hp|d105_hp Generische HP Queue (D106) :lf=/var/log/lpd/d105_hp.log :mx#0 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/d105_hp :server :sv=d105a_hp,d105b_hp After spooling three copies of the file /etc/motd into this queue: rzdspc5a# lpr -Pd105_hp -#3 /etc/motd the hf file /var/spool/lpd/d105_hp/hfA365 has three entries for the datafile: rzdspc5a# less /var/spool/lpd/d105_hp/hfA586 hfdatafiles=copies=0x1^Bdftransfername=dfA586rzdspc5a.informatik.uni-hamburg.de^Bformat=f^BN=/etc/motd^Bsize=59^Acopies=0x1^Bdftransfername=dfA586rzdspc5a.informatik.uni-hamburg.de^Bformat=f^BN=/etc/motd^Bsize=59^Acopies=0x1^Bdftransfername=dfA586rzdspc5a.informatik.uni-hamburg.de^Bformat=f^BN=/etc/motd^Bsize=59^A But when the file gets moved to the subqueue d105a_hp, the the hf file /var/spool/lpd/d105a_hp/hfA365 has only one copy of this file left: rzdspc5a# less /var/spool/lpd/d105a_hp/hfA586 ... hfdatafiles=copies=0x1^Bdftransfername=dfA586rzdspc5a.informatik.uni-hamburg.de^Bformat=f^Bsize=59^A ... it seems the code for moving print jobs into a new queue doesn't read the hfdatafiles entry from the old queue's hf file but merely copies the datafiles into the new queue and builds a new hfdatafiles entry for the new queue's hf file with a copy counter of 1 for each datafile.
