LPRng: Jetdirect 3 ports and Postscript interpreted as TEXT
Hi to all, after i upgraded from old lpd (slackware 7) to lprng 3.8.21 i'm unable to print correctly to my JetDirect with 3 parallel port. I have an HP Laserjet 2100 connected on port 3 and i use samba to print directly from windows stations. The problem is that if i print with lpr from linux to make some tests i try: lpr -Plaserjet /usr/share/ghostscript/5.50/examples/tiger.ps This should print the famous tiger PS example of ghostscript but it prints only the content of the file as if the JetDirect box (or the printer) interpret it as text with only the linefeeds appended to each line. %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2 %%Creator: Adobe Illustrator(TM) 1.2d4 I changed from old lpd (that worked well for 3 years with slackware 7) becouse i upgraded to slackware 8 and i started to have some strange queue stops with errors from jetdirect saying: lpd[8241]: laserjet: lost connection. And i found the spool directory with all files inside and not able to print anymore. I need to delete all cf,df,lpdtmp files and restart lpd to let it print again for a while and after it stops again. Thinking on some changes of lpd version from slackware 7 to 8 i changet to the latest version of lprng. But it has not solved the problems. I went to conclusion that the JetDirect may have some problem becouse on the network i have an LaserJet 4000 with the jetdirect interface and if i print on it in the same way the tiger prints correctly. I tryied directly with the netcat tool too: nc 10.0.0.243 9102 /usr/share/ghostscript/5.50/examples/tiger.ps on the laserjet 4000 it prints OK and on the JetDirect Box every time the same output. Now i'm writing to you becouse i tryed to redirect directly the printer ports on the Windows clients on the Jetdirect Box avoiding the Linux box and it prints perfectly well, but the windows driver prints in PCL. So i tried to print from linux a PCL file and it works perfectly. Is possible that the laserjet printer do not understand postscript anymore? I will try to connect the laserjet directly to parallel port of the server and print a PS file to look at the results. If you have some ideas,please help me. Bye, Marcello This is my printcap entry: l2:\ :lp=:force_localhost:sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:mx#0:\ :rm=hpjetdirect:rp=raw3: I don't use filters becouse the files are already formatted by the windows driver in the correct format and i don't need to print from linux.

RE: LPRng: pjl_waitend_byjobname - HP LJ 4100
Sorry for the stupid question, but can someone provide a workaround in the meantime? This one caught me by surprise and I don't yet have time to re-compile with any changes to the waitend routine. I would really like to strip spaces and commas or anything else that could cause a problem (Samba used to do this for you -- no longer).

When the jobname includes the comma character (,), the printer returns the jobname split in two lines: the first line returned contains the jobname to the comma, and then, the rest of the jobname is in another line. This is why the returned jobname never matches the original jobname, and therefore, you can never obtain the end-of-job condition expected with the pjl_waitend_byjobname option. And the job remains in the queue forever. I think that this is the only small problem with the pjl_waitend_byjobname patch. I think that, in another patch I sent to LPRng list, I avoided this comma-problem by changing somewhere a strcmp statement by a strstr one in the Do_waitend routine. This made the end-of-job detection test less strict.

Re: LPRng: Problem with 'file'
If you're just looking to strip the extra ^M that Windows sticks into the files, then
change the tr command to tr -d '\015'
\015 is the escape code for ^M.

Re: LPRng: Problem with 'file'
There is a LOT different. The most noticeable seems to be the outputs of cmp -l in the first column are about 2-3 times larger than the second one. I'm guessing maybe vi chopped some long lines, if that's what those numbers are? Why would ifhp care?

I was somewhat doubtful about CRs being the problem; in my experience, vi leaves them alone. (The vim that's on the RedHat Linux I use most now invisibly assumes that you really mean to edit a DOS/Win file, strips them off when you start editing, and adds them back when you save. vi on the Unix versions I'm familiar with treats them as characters, displayed as ^M.) A suggestion for determining what *is* changing: - make a backup copy of your file - load save with vi as you've been doing - Look at the files. Are they still the same size? Try cmp -l (that's lowercase L to look for differences. Also, these are supposed to be text files, IIRC, aren't they? Try running the before after versions through cat -vt and running diff on the results. Actually, I just had a thought. Probably not the cause of your problem, but one thing I *know* vi is apt to do to a file. If your file ends without a linefeed, vi will add one. (Again, I'm assuming I'm remembering correctly that this is supposed to be text for this idea to make any sense at all.) In that case, echo yourfile would work as well as running through vi. -- - Dave Lovelace [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

That's just fine. The problem is that RN 'file' claims that the file is of type 'data'. I vi'd the file, did RN nothing to it, saved it, and ran file again -- now it recognizes it as a RN HP Printer Job Language. The file appears to have the proper PJL header, RN with the ^[%-12345X -- forgive me if I'm getting that wrong off the top of RN my head. Unfortunately, though, as printed, file calls it data and runs RN off a page that says No conversion available for type 'data'. RN RN Any clues here? Could it be the file contain CR (carriage return)? Windows machines puts both NL and CR and end of lines. How it becomes data I don't know, but as it was okay after you saved it (on UNIX I presume) it sounds familiar. - 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.
