Re: LPRng: Trouble after initial installation
Could be a problem with the permissions for your spooling directory, /var/spool/lpd/lp. LPRng has a utility, checkpc, for managing your spooling directories. Try running "checkpc -f" as root.

LPRng: Local vs remote printer name
I'm upgrading to 3.6.26 from 3.6.14beta28 because of the security problems and I'm trying to resolve one other problem that has surfaced. I believe I saw some mail last week that appeared to be a similar problem, but I've misplaced it. I have a printcap entry that looks like: ps: :cm=Apple LaserWriter: :[EMAIL PROTECTED]: This entry is not getting parsed correctly. For example, if I do an lpq: % lpq -Pps Printer: ps is printer@localhost Printer: printer@local - printer 'printer', chdir to '/var/spool/lpd-printer' failed 'No such file or directory' If I change the printer so that the local and remote names are the same: ps: :cm=Apple LaserWriter: :[EMAIL PROTECTED]: I get more reasonable output: : lpq -Pps Printer: ps@local (dest [EMAIL PROTECTED]) 'Apple LaserWriter' Queue: no printable jobs in queue no entries Has anyone seen this behavior? Thanks.

RE: LPRng: Trouble after initial installation
Hi Phillip:
Thanks for your persistence.
I am a relative newcomer to Linux, so thanks for your patience.
Per your suggestion, I
changed printcap to point to the actual location of masterfilter at
/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter as follows...
:filter=/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter
After doing this and
rebooting, printtool does the following...
ASCII
direct to port still works
Trying
ASCII or Postscript Test page says ... printed to queue lp but
nothing happens
_
I also ran lpq with the
following response...
[root@dell733 /root]# lpq
Printer: lp@Dell733
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: removing job 'root@Dell733+894' - ABORT at
22:50:56.412
_
As you mentioned, I checked
to see if master-filter was executable by daemon as follows...
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]# ls -l -A master-filter
-rw--- 1 daemon daemon 10214 Aug 30 19:28 master-filter
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]# chmod 700 master*
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]# ls -l -A master-filter
-rwx-- 1 daemon daemon 10214 Aug 30 19:28 master-filter
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]# checkpc -f
Warning - permissions of
'filter.orig' are 0700, not 0600
Warning - 'filter' filter
'/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter' does not have execute perms
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]# ls -l -A master-filter
-rw--- 1 daemon daemon 10214 Aug 30 19:28 master-filter
[root@dell733
rhs-printfilters]#
It appears that
checkpc -f removes the execute permission, then complains about it
(or am I missing something?).
_
Lastly, here is the printcap
file...
# Dummy Printcap file
# VERSION=3.6.26
##LPRNGTOOL## LOCAL uniprint
NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor stc740p {}
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL
uniprint NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor stc740p {}
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:filter=/usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/master-filter
## :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
Maybe all this will shed
some light.
Thanks again,
Jess

Re: LPRng: Trouble after initial installation
hi, try a chmod 755 /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/masterfilter as user root. On Tuesday 19 December 2000 20:52, you wrote: Thanks for the feedback. Logged on as "root" I ran "checkpc -f." Results of checkpc -f... Warning - 'if' filter '/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter' does not have execute perms "checkpc -f" does not "fix" this problem. I then manually changed "filter" as follows... lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 44 Dec 17 17:21 filter - /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters//master-filter and re-ran "checkpc -f" but got the same message.
