I never did apply these patches but someone of my aquaintance tried upgrading the printer firmware and she said it didn't help. My experience too. We have a lot of complaints about HP's grinding to a very slow speed, and frequent crashes. 8150 in particular.

LPRng: to PJL or not to PJL
We've got our hands on a couple of Xerox WorkCentre Pro 55. I try to get them working with ifhp, port 9100. Setting the options model=ps,status@ at least makes it print pure postscript jobs, but then ifhp blocks jobs with PJL code. However, some windows clients produce jobs with PJL code, using the corresponding windows driver. So I try model=ps,pjl,status@ to permit them, but then ifhp produces a lot of PJL by itself, which seems to make this stupid printer freeze up. So how do I resolve this? I tried model=ps,pjl,pjl_only=[],status@ But all I got was Write_read_timeout: write error - Broken pipe Anyway it seems like an ugly hack. Is there a better way to force ifhp to not produce PJL, but allow whatever it's given in the print job?

LPRng: [off topic] z3 trash
This has not really anything to do with LPRng, sorry. But I thought perhaps others here could have come across the same thing... Now and then, we find a sheet with garbage on it, that appears to have reached the printers outside the normal queuing mechanisms, there are no log entries. They are all similar, but I don't know if they are all equal. I scanned one sample here: http://folk.uio.no/hanspv/z3.png Basically, I's just one line of extra-ascii characters printed on top, sprinkled with a few backspaces so they overlap. They start with z3, or rather z^H.3 or perhaps .^Hz3, ie. the first character is a '.' superimposed on a 'z' or vice versa. I assume these are the results of (hostile) scanning, worm activity or exploit kits. They are mostly just annoying, but I would like to stop it all the same. Has anybody additional info on this? I tried google, but z3 etc. just yields a lot of links to BMW regards, -- Hans Peter - 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.

I can't find this printer in the list of supported printers

No, but you can include it in ifhp.conf yourself.
a queue for the new printer using model type hp8100
(We are already using such printers successfull!)
I have added it in ifhp.conf thus:
# PRINTER % - HP Laserjet 8000 Series, {/hp(.*)/HP$1/}
[ hp8000 hp8100 hp8150 hp9000 ]
^^
*and* -- because I use the waitend_byjobname patch -- I have
an extra entry like this, a bit furter down:
#!End of [ hp8000 ]
# PRINTER hp9000
# New entry, we try this trick here too...
[ hp9000 ]
# to fix waitend
pjl_waitend_byjobname
#!End of [ hp9000 ]
As I understand this, it makes the 9000 inherit whatever
properties ifhp assumes about the 8000 etc., with the addition
of pjl_waitend_byjobname.
For accounting we are using a modified version of the delivered
accounting.sh script.
The outputs of the printer are ok.
But the accounting values are often bad - getting (p) 0 but
1 or 2 pages were printed...
I think I had this problem already had (??? with a printer HP4100 ???)
I believe the accounting.sh script gets the end of the job earlier than
the real end ... reading of pagecounter by the accounting filter gets than
(p) 0 or less pages as really would be printed (?)
Yup, both these printers count pages like a dream with the
above-mentioned patch. Get it before they are sold out, at
http://www.groundsouth.com/patches/ifhp/
Our 2 HP9000's lost the pagecount (ie. counted 0 pages) for only 15
out of 8210 jobs last month (May). Our 75 HP4100's missed only 211 jobs,
out of 61514 jobs in the same period. A miss-rate of less then 0.5%
is very good, I think.

LPRng: Xerox 3400

Reasons for picking the Phaser 4400 over the others: I don't know if they are related at all, but has anyone had a look at the xerox phaser 3400? We've got one now, and it seems to me to be one brain-damaged bugger, at least when using ifhp! I'm trying to find a way to make it not only print, but also count pages. The main problem is that it won't drop the connection (?) when ifhp dies unexpectedly (killed), and thus won't accept new connections unless we power-cycle it! I don't know really what happens, perhaps I'm way of the mark here.

Version ifhp-3.5.6 - Sat Feb 23 07:36:20 PST 2002
Hi Patrick,
I looked through the file ifhp-3.5.6/HOWTO/IFHP-HOWTO.html , and I
found some oddities:
Section 4.3, 4th paragraph:
If you are using the LPRng print spooler, job transfers using
RFC1179 is specified by using :lp=spoolqueue@host
or :rp=spoolqueue:rh=host
^^
Should be rm ?
Same section: Unfortunately, some print spooling systems also use
the v format by default. You may find the following printcap entry
useful in this case. The :filter option specifies a default filter
that is used if one is not specified for the format.
The printcap entry that follows is AFAICS identical to the previous
raw entry. Is this intended?
Section 4.7, printcap with bounce queue. Should the raw entry
be named real, to correspond with the :lp=real@localhost entry?
Section 4.11, say again? :
If your printer requires a Control-D at the end of the job but
fails when they occur at the start of the job, set ps_eoj_at_start@.
If the printer requires a Control-D at the start but not at the end,
set ps_eoj_at_start@.
Section 5.7: Shouldn't the value 5 be passed somehow:
Similarly, the lpr -Zfuzzy=5 option will cause the PostScript command
/Fuzzy (\%s{fuzzy}) setpagedevice to be sent to the printer.
Section 9.2: When cut and paste goes bad?
ps_init=[ ... font ... ]
pcl_font=[ font_download ]
I guess these are typos, or maybe I'm just confused
Finally, the main pain about installing ifhp at our site is the paper
handling, which seems to default to letter, we europeans prefer a4.
Also, the ps_fontdir etc. that make inserts in ifhp.conf is not correct,
I have to edit this by hand. What about a configure option to specify
default paper and font directories?
Regards,

LPRng: LPRng 3.8.6 compile problems
Hi Patrick, I think you once said this was the appropriate place to post bug reports. LPRng 3.8.6 has some compile issues I think you should know about. I have tried for linux (redhat 6.2/gcc version egcs-2.91.66), solaris 2.6 (both gcc version 3.0.3 and Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 2001/05/15) and alpha (Digital UNIX V4.0G/Digital UNIX Compiler Driver 3.11) First off, Compiling For Multiple Architectures doesn't work, you can easily verify this on your linux box yourself, I guess: $ tar zxf LPRng-3.8.6.tar.gz $ cd LPRng-3.8.6 $ mkdir linux ; cd linux $ ../configure (...) $ make all It seems to build the binaries ok, but fails on ../../src/../UTILS/make_lpd_conf: ../../src/../UTILS/make_lpd_conf: No such file or directory cpp: output pipe has been closed make[1]: *** [lpd.conf] Error 1 But still, when I fall back to compiling one arch at a time, it only compiles on linux. On sun/gcc, it goes : In file included from include/lp.h:22, from common/lpc.c:64: include/portable.h:265: parse error before geteuid include/portable.h:265: warning: data definition has no type or storage class In file included from include/lp.h:22, from common/lpc.c:64: include/portable.h:806: conflicting types for `openlog' /usr/include/syslog.h:23: previous declaration of `openlog' make[1]: *** [lpc.o] Error 1 On alpha: make[1]: Entering directory `/usit/mikkel/priss_src/PRISS3/LPRng-3.8.6/src' /usr/bin/cc -I.. -I./include -I./common -std -std -DHAVE_CONFIG_H [blah-blah-blah] -c -o lpc.o ./common/lpc.c cc: Warning: /usr/include/sys/types.h, line 127: In this declaration, the same type specifier occurs more than once.

(typeconflict) make[1]: *** [lpc.o] Error 1 (Yes, damned stupid error messages, and the line numbers makes no sense! But I don't think the error is in /usr/include/sys/types.h, it works fine on 3.8.1, as noted below). I have trimmed the output/error msg somewhat, so to not make this post completely unreadable. Please let me know if you need a more complete output. Additionally, as somebody has noted on this list, the src/Makfile gets created with CFLAGS:= $(CFLAGS) -DGETENV=\1\ -Wall -Werror which is probably not what you want for a production compile, and also only works with gcc. I have removed this line for the above compiles. All this in contrast to version 3.8.1, which compiles without hassle on all 3 platforms (sun/gcc, didn't try workshop). Except, the sun compile barfs on implicit declaration of function `sleep' in a few files, but that can be workarounded by removing -Werror in src/Makefile (-Werror is nice for development, but I suggest you drop it in a release) Finally, alpha cc -std1 complained about a few //-style comments, which I believe is not quite ansi 3.8.1 was reported to work with Mac's, so I guess I'll stick to that for the time being.
