LPRng: does this list still work ???

2004-10-07 Thread Margrit Lottmann
My email from yesterday to collect informations
about accounting with qms printers didn't find
the way to me away ... or is this a new policy that
the sender dosn't receive his own email ???

## Accelerated reply from the Moderator:
## 
## Ummm... well actually what is happening is that either Patrick (moi) or
## Vivian or Darin or the poor sucker of the day has to plow through the
## email (800 spams per day on peak days).  So it may be a bit of time
## until the human 'anti-spam' system manages to read the mail.  Sorry about that.
## 
## 


the content of last email was:

We have an qms magicolor7300

normal accounting doesn't work.

I want to attempt getting accounting information with
snmp tools.

But: Which MIB shall I use ???

(included MIB's from the software package don't work)

## Accelerated reply from the Moderator:
## Well, you can be brutal.  First, simply try the snmp_printer_status program
## (this comes with the ifhp package).  See the snmp_printer_status.conf
## file for details of interesting 'almost standard' MIBS.  If that fails,
## then the LPRng site has some stuff.
## 
## ftp://ftp.lprng.com/pub/LPRng/RESOURCES/MIB/
## 
## This should have a LOT of printer MIBs.
## If you are using snmpwalk, then try:
## 
## snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -c public -m ALL 10.0.0.31 .iso
## 
## OR you can try the following script - change the V value and/or
## uncomment the appropriate line:
## 
## #!/bin/sh
## V=10.0.0.31
## snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -c public-M +/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs -m ALL $V .iso
## #snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -c public -Of -M +/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs -m ALL $V .iso
## #snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -c public -On -M +/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs -m ALL $V .iso
## #snmpwalk -Cc -v1 -c public -M . -m ALL $V .iso

I suspect the pdftops script is the cause of problems here.  One of the
issues with PDF is that it usually needs some temp file directory.
Can you send me the details of the pdfmail.pl script?

Could you send me a SMALL (short) printcap entry that produces

LPRng: QMS7300 - Accounting ???

2004-10-07 Thread Margrit Lottmann
We have a new printer a QMS7300.

Nobody from our management has asked me before buying
that printer... it dosn't give me a pagecounter...

I think I have to use snmp to get information about 
jobs.

On a compact disk that was include in the printer software/documentation
package I found a folder with different MIB's.

Has anybody already used such things ... I'm not...

This is not a totally new one to me, but I cannot remember the
details of the particular device.  I think that whoever is generating
the files for this needs to look at the driver they are using.  For
some reason,  I keep thinking 'Brother Ink Jets' but I cannot recall
the details.

Antwort: Re: LPRng: too many errors, only workers here

hi christoph,
not at all. the client sends the lp-job to the LPRng server which activates
a perl script.
there is no printer connected.

Hi Juergen,

looks a bit strange, are you sur you don't have a networking or
'printer-connecting' problem ?

In the printcap or the lpd.conf file (globally) you can set 'send_try=0'
The default is at 3 which means the server will try to connect the printer
three times, ( -> too many errors after three tries) '0' means infinite
tries. So you can try to connect the port (probably 515) manually during
the non-working period with 'lpq -P515@' and see if there is a
problem connecting the port you are using...

Hope this helps...

best regards
 ~christoph

When you say 'stop', do you mean it stops accepting jobs OR
it does not process any jobs that are in the queue?

To prevent denial of service attacks, LPRng will not fork more than a 
specified number of 'worker' processes at a time.  It is assumed that
doing so will cause the operating system to be unable to start additional
processes.  This 'high water mark' is controlled by:

# Purpose: maximum number of servers that can be active
#   default max_servers_active=1024  (INTEGER)

Note that this is, by default, 1024 (default).  You might want to try lowering
this to (say) 512 and see if this effects anything.

The problem here is that when the system goes into a heavy load,
lprng does not notice this,  but tries to perform as normal.  The
problem usually is noticed by processes that it 'forks',  which then
desperately try to fork subprocesses,  which do not work,  which,
after a while, (10 minutes), the worker process exits, LPRng sees
the exit process,  decides it can now do more work,  and MAY start
a subprocess.

To ensure that this does not become a 'permanent' condition,  periodically
LPRng will do a scan of print queues, looking for work.  This scanning is
done by ONE process, which will send a message to the master LPD process,
which keeps a list of all the queues which need work.

When the load goes down,  this 'queue list' is scanned for the oldest entry,
and a subprocess is forked to handle this.  Umm... if a large number of queues
are ready to be serviced,  the lpd server might try to start a lot of them,
leading to the same problem as before.


As I say,  this usually only occurs under a very high load condition with
a lot of processes being created and then not exiting.

I have observed with on several Web Servers running Apache and CGI scripts.

I am putting out a new version of ifhp with an updated 'configure'
that will check for the correct 'file' behavior.  I will put this
on the web site today:

Re: LPRng: too many erro

2004-10-07 Thread juergen . northe
i hope i can close this file.

walter harms (WHarms_bfs_de) gave me the hint to pipe the data stream
through

I have to keep an eye on it because the error was not predictable.
