This I can live with, EXCEPT: Well, the real problem here to my eyes is that you are ending up with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] You use the first or the last (like before and after on Wheel of Fortune ;)), but I don't think altogether that that is proper syntax. If you are doing it, it's bad syntax (though you seem to be indicating the software is doing it -- but read below...) snip BUG 3: the new super lp method does not work. /etc/printcap must be hand edited to the following: # :rm=192.168.255.7 # :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :lp=192.168.255.7%9100 :rp=raw1 Note that you must A) use an lp, rp pair, and B) remove the queue name and @ symbol (raw1@) from lp. BUG 4: if you edit the queue with LPRngTool, LPRngTool will change the lp, rp pair back to the super lp method. Meaning you have to remember to hand edit the lp, rp pair back into /etc/printcap. BUG 5: Speaking of LPRngTool, I need to be able to specify the print queue name (rp) when setting up a printer for LPR/LPD. LPRngTool removes this option when setting up this kind of printer. This creates a real mess when setting up a Jet Direct 500x with three queues names (raw1, raw2, and raw3) for each of its three parallel ports. OK, if I'm right about the above portion (I'm pretty certain I am as I've been doing this awhile ;)), you've got this all hosed. Like I said above, you pick the proper port (ie 9100, 9101, etc.) OR you pick a queue and the port used is 515 (LPR). AFAIK, both is bad syntax. My personal recommendation is: :[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...this should do what you want. If you are using 9100, you should omit the queue name as each port will be defined as a particular queue. Again, this is only as I understand it, but I believe I answered this question already on the list in the past and others concurred with my understanding. Now, a caveat here that I've noticed is if you are using ifhp as your filter (you have not indicated either way), you will most likely want: :lp=/dev/null :[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...something about the addr already being open while ifhp tries to access it -- but this does not seem like your problem. Bottom line: if rm/rp does not work and inserts 9100 at the end without you suggesting it (I don't believe it did last time I tried it), that is a bug. If you are manually using a queue name and port name, I think it's pilot error.

LPRng: Six bugs to fix
Hi All, I just set up LPRng on one of my Linux servers. The mixture of junk I had on it before -- cups, alternative software, and a bunch of weird PrintConf extensions that Red Hat thought I needed -- did not allow me to modify my send_try in my printcap. LPRng saved my ever living butt. In the process of installing LPRng, I do believe I have uncovered several bugs.

This I can live with, EXCEPT: BUG 1: the manual page for printcap still reflects the old rm/rp method and makes no mention of the new combined lp method. For those of us who like to read the directions, this is not fair play BUG 2: the manual page for printcap, in the sections that defines the command can only be viewed in an xterm properly if the xterm is maximized BUG 3: the new super lp method does not work. /etc/printcap must be hand edited to the following: # :rm=192.168.255.7 # :[EMAIL PROTECTED] :lp=192.168.255.7%9100 :rp=raw1 Note that you must A) use an lp, rp pair, and B) remove the queue name and @ symbol (raw1@) from lp.

Hi All, Is there a bug reporting system set up for LPRng, such as Mozilla's Bugzilla? If not, where is the proper place to report bugs? Many thanks, --Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- - I Fish. Therefore, I am. - - 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. For the impatient, to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with: | example: subscribe LIST mailaddr | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe LIST mailaddr | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line. -
